Griggs International Academy describes an open-enrollment process, so families can start applying at any time via the online New Student Application (submitted online), after which a student ID is typically emailed within about 1 business day. Next, families complete the Enrollment Packet/Enrollment Form to select classes, submit required supporting documents (e.g., birth certificate and transcript/report card as applicable), and then pay tuition/fees. After the enrollment packet, payment, and all supporting documents are received, course approval/processing is stated to take about 3–5 business days, and admission is noted as not guaranteed (enrollment is subject to approval). Orientation is required after enrollment (with students expected to schedule/attend within the first month), with high-school orientation scheduled through the student’s Griggs Online account and K–8 parent orientation scheduled via the posted sign-up link. The website does not describe a waitlist process or any priority admission categories.
