Testing
All kindergarten applicants will undergo kindergarten readiness testing. This testing will take place at the school on February 8-10, 2011. Parents will be notified of the assigned testing appointment by letter upon receipt of the application.
Applicants to grades 1-8 will be tested when an opening is expected in that grade level. The purpose of the admissions test is to evaluate the student’s achievement levels in reading, math, and written expression.
School Tours
Tours of the school are available on Thursday mornings by appointment only beginning after Labor Day. Please contact the Admissions Director, Mrs. Molly Carlin, at mcarlin@qaschool.org to set up an appointment. Tours take approximately 45 minutes and involve visiting classrooms while school is in session.

Registration is not required to attend.
