ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

  • Cumulative and current GPA must be 2.5 (C+) or above in academic courses. Middle School (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9-12) transcripts are evaluated separately. For Elementary School (Grades K-5), report cards and standardized tests must show a current grade level or above performance across all subjects.

  • School reference forms and report cards must show that the student is an independent learner and has the ability to be successful in a rigorous college-preparatory environment.​

BEHAVIORAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Students and parents must be in good standing with their current school.

  • Teacher evaluations and report card behavioral marks must be favorable.

  • Students with prior drug, alcohol, or other similar issues must have successfully completed (including being 100% drug and alcohol free) a full semester in a regular school program prior to being admitted to COLCA. Specifically, this means that COLCA will not accept students directly from residential treatment programs or expulsion from other schools.
