- Is Golden Gate Academy a year-round program?

- Our academic school year runs from September through May.
- Our summer camp program runs June through August.
- Children may enroll any time during the year providing there is space available. Each spring families are required to re-register their child if they plan to continue at GGA.
- Enrollment for the school year (September through August) begins the spring before with Priority enrollment for current students first. GGA is a year-round school and enrollment is
continuously filled throughout the year and summer as space becomes available. Applications
are accepted year round.
- What are the fees?
- A non-refundable registration fee is due for each new and returning child at the time of
registration along with updated paperwork. This is necessary for your child’s placement, covers
the cost of setting-up/maintaining your preschool account and provides an emergency pack for
your child.
- A supply fee will be assessed every fall semester and again for the spring semester. This fee
helps to cover the cost of art supplies in all classrooms as well as diapering supplies in the two-year-old class. In addition the fee will cover the purchase of a GGA t-shirt for the Spring
Program, practice CD’s for both the Christmas and Spring Programs and other special projects
in the classroom that in the past required separate payments. This fee does not include field trip
fees, which are optional.
