Below are the general application requirements for students interested in attending AOC. We provide more information during the AOC Information Night. AOC is a high school and accepts students entering 9th grade and only accepts rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students if spots are available.
 
In order to be considered for admission and be provided an application to apply, the student and parent/guardian must attend an AOC Information Night. There are typically 3 information nights available all hosted via Zoom in November.  If you do NOT attend an information night, we do NOT send an application link.
