Continuous Enrollment
Having peace of mind.
Once your student is accepted and enrolled at Anthem Prep, their continued presence at the school is a much easier process. All the enrollment information previously input to the school management system will remain and automatically update with your child’s matriculation into the next grade. Only if parents need to change or update financial information will they need to take the time to update their enrollment information. The $50 non-refundable re-enrollment fee will automatically be added to the financial account.
During the early part of each year (January–February), parents will have an open time window to log in to the school management system and indicate if their student(s) will not return. This is done by highlighting the “opt-out” option in the family account.

Additionally, all international students are required to commit to a minimum of two years at Anthem Prep.
Can I work in the U.S.?
F-1 visas are intended to enable foreign students to study in the U.S., hence, there are strict work restrictions. Students with F-1 visas are generally allowed to work once they’re in college, on the campus of the college where they study, for up to 20 hours a week. There are also two training programs that F-1 students can get permission to work under. F1 students should always seek advice from the university dso (or foreign student advisor) before seeking employment in the United States.
How long can I stay in the U.S. with a F1 visa?
When you enter the U.S., an immigration officer at the port of entry will issue you an I-94 card that indicates your non-immigrant status (F1) and your authorized stay. It is typically “duration of status” or “d/s” on a student’s I-94 card, meaning that you may remain in the U.S. as long as you are enrolled in the school to complete your academic program. After the program ends, you will have 60 days to depart the U.S.

Dress Code
Why we require one.
Anthem Prep has a mandatory dress code for all students. Students are expected to be neat, clean, and dressed in uniform at all times unless permitted by the administration to be out of uniform. There are many positive reasons for a dress code, including:
A dress code encourages students to express their individuality through personality and academic achievements, not outward appearances.
A dress code puts the focus on academics, not fashion, because students project a neat, serious, businesslike image.
Schools with dress codes have fewer discipline problems because students are less distracted.
Dress codes can be less expensive.
Dress codes eliminate the visible differences between needy and wealthy children.
Dress codes eliminate the pressure to wear brand-name clothing, immodest styles, etc.
Dress codes create a sense of school pride and belonging.
General Rules
White dress shirts must be tucked in for boys, girls shirts can remain untucked.
Clothes must be the appropriate size, with the waist of the garment worn at the student’s waist.
Clothing that is too tight or too loose is not appropriate for school.
Only school-approved jackets, hoodies, and sweaters are allowed in the classroom.
Hoods are not allowed to be worn in the classrooms or hallways.
School administrators will determine if clothing is appropriate for school and complies with the uniform guidelines.
Students violating the dress code will receive a warning the first time. Students who regularly violate the dress code will be referred to the administration.
Our dress code is specific and based on grade and gender. Select the appropriate grade level or additional uniform policy links below for detailed information.

The Anthem Preparatory School financial aid program offers families assistance based on their financial needs and the availability of funds. There are no merit-based scholarships at Anthem Prep. All awards offered are based on the demonstrated financial need of the family. However, no student should be deterred from applying to Anthem Preparatory School due to their family not being able to afford the full tuition. All application materials are held in the strictest confidence to protect the privacy of our families.
Philosophy & Objective
Financial aid at Anthem Prep helps to provide deserving students the opportunity of a high-quality education, which might otherwise be unobtainable. It provides the school with a well-qualified student body that reflects a broad social and economic mix. Financial aid decisions are made independently from admissions decisions and in no way affect a candidate’s chances for admission.
Families must complete the FACTS application below, submit the required documentation, and pay a one-time fee to apply for financial aid. You will then be contacted with a determination regarding your award.
We recognize that an Anthem Preparatory School education is a significant investment. Each year, families take advantage of various payment installments, the Carson Smith Scholarship, and our in-house financial-aid program. We are committed to making an Anthem Prep education accessible and affordable for all qualified applicants.
