Documents can be uploaded digitally through Ascender Parent Portal or they can be brought to the school in person after submitting the application.

Step Three- Submit Forms

Once the Enrollment Application has been reviewed, a representative from EAPrep will call to inform you if your student's application has been approved. 

Please note that your student is not officially enrolled until all paperwork has been completed, submitted, and approved.

If your student's Enrollment Application is denied, a representative from EAPrep will call to explain why. Applicants may be contacted later if openings are available.

 - Proof of Age (birth certificate, birth statement, report card, baptismal record)

Once you are accepted

EAPrep will provide a school bus schedule, school supply list and bell schedule as well as information that pertains to the Back to School Fair or any other orientation that may be required of new families entering EAPrep. The bell schedule and school supply list are typically published online two to three weeks before the beginning of the academic year and hard copies can be found with the receptionist at each campus
