Enrollment Process

Q: When should I withdraw my student from his/her current school?
A: Once your student has completed orientation, you may withdraw your student from his/her current school. Students must be in an educational setting during the entire academic year, so withdrawing your student prior to their AHCCS orientation may result in a truant status in your local school district, making you subject to fines and/or court hearings.

Do not withdraw from your current school or request a complete copy of the student’s cumulative file prior to completing the enrollment process, as this information will be requested from the student’s previous school upon completion of the enrollment process.

Q: How can I change my address and other contact information?
A: If your address or contact information changes at any point during your student’s enrollment at Achievement House, please contact our Child Accounting department (484-615-6201) so we can update our records.

Q: How do I enroll myself if I am 18 years old or older, or am an emancipated minor?
A: Students who are 18 years old or older must meet age eligibility requirements in their state. Students must also submit academic documentation of all courses attempted since entering the 9th grade. This documentation will be reviewed by a school counselor to determine the student’s eligibility to complete the program requirements before meeting the age cap for enrollment.

Both emancipated minors and students 18 years old or older are required to provide all enrollment documentation before enrolling. Emancipated minors must also submit court documentation for their emancipation.
