GUIDED REGISTRATION

The Academy’s guided registration process is a helpful process that gets cadets and their patrons ready to arrive at Army and Navy Academy. This process is the same for new and returning cadets. These steps must be completed before your cadet arrives on campus. Just follow our step-by-step guided registration process to prepare!

REGISTRATION PROCESS

The guided registration process is meant to make things simple for new and returning families who are preparing to have their students join us. This process will help you set your student up for success by virtually visiting with departments across the campus and following the steps needed for them to prepare for your student’s arrival. All steps of this guided registration process must be completed or your student will be ineligible to move in. If you are experiencing any issues with completing a step, please contact the involved department so that they can help with clearance.

Hello there! My name is Tighe Lythgoe. I’m the Community Outreach Assistant for the Office of Admission. If you encounter any issues during guided registration, please contact me at 760.547.5195 or by emailing admission@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 1: FINANCE

Financial Services is here to help with any payment questions you may have throughout this registration process and throughout the year.

Army and Navy Academy partners with FACTS Tuition Management as our tuition management solution. All families must establish a tuition account with FACTS and process your prepayment deposits for the incidental, Bookstore, and Laundry accounts through FACTS.

FACTS TUITION MANAGEMENT

Please establish your tuition account with FACTS Tuition Management.

  • 70% of remaining tuition balance due prior to arrival
  • 30% of remaining tuition balance due by January 5, 2027

10-Month Payment Option (Domestic Cadets Only)

Once a payment plan has been selected, FACTS will have you process a non-refundable tuition deposit of $5,000 to complete your student’s enrollment. Financial Services will then complete your tuition agreement. FACTS will email a confirmation containing your tuition breakdown schedule. Any additional credits and financial assistance will be applied only after initial agreement is finalized.

We also manage Counseling, which oversees your student’s emotional wellbeing while on campus and sets your student up for collegiate success through college and career planning services.

Our student information, Aeries, tracks grades, citizenship, attendance, and family contact information. Some of the benefits of Aeries include: facilitating real-time grade checks, staying current on homework and classwork, and communicating with faculty about your cadet’s performance. You must complete your online enrollment through Aeries prior to your student’s move-in day.

We recommend that you use Google Chrome on a desktop computer to complete this process. There are a variety of language options for completion, including English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean. We only accept student documents in English.

The Aeries Parent Portal will active after July 13th.

AERIES PARENT PORTAL

Army and Navy Academy uses Aeries to track grades, citizenship, and family contact information. Prior to your cadet’s move-in date, you will receive an email from registrar@armyandnavyacademy.org with instructions to set up your permanent Aeries Parent Portal account. During this process, you will need to add at least one emergency contact. You may also set up weekly auto-generated progress emails. Throughout the school year, please continue to keep your contact information up-to-date in Aeries. We use the information in Aeries for all family communications. Failing to keep your information current will result in missed communication from the Academy.

I’m Tania Rowe, the Registrar. I can help you with your cadet’s Aeries registration and keeping your contact information up-to-date! You can call me at 760.547.5196. I can also be reached if you email registrar@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 3: HEALTH CENTER

The Health Center’s primary mission is to promote and protect the health, safety, and well-being of every cadet throughout the school year. Our team is committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services that support each student’s physical health and overall success while at the Academy.

The Health Center provides a wide range of medical services, including:

  • Administration and monitoring of prescription and authorized medications
  • Evaluation and treatment of illnesses and injuries
  • Health education and wellness support
  • Coordination of medical care with parents, guardians, and healthcare providers
  • Communication regarding important health-related matters affecting the Academy community

Hello, I’m Tamaris Moncrief. I am the Academy’s Health Center Director. Your student’s care is my #1 priority. You can reach me at 760.547.5215 or by emailing tmoncrief@armyandnavyacademy.org.

AERIES PARENT PORTAL

To ensure the secure, efficient, and confidential management of student health information, the Health Center utilizes the Aeries Parent Portal, a secure electronic student information system.

Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, the Army and Navy Academy Health Center has transitioned from Magnus Health to the Aeries Parent Portal for all Health Center registration forms and medical documentation.

The Aeries Parent Portal allows parents and guardians to:

  • Complete required Health Center forms
  • Upload supporting medical documentation
  • Electronically acknowledge required policies and agreements
  • Update student health information
  • Maintain accurate and current medical records throughout the school year

All student health information is maintained in accordance with applicable privacy laws and Academy policies to ensure the highest standards of confidentiality and security.

REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS

All applicable forms must be either acknowledged by electronic signature or the form must be uploaded into your Cadets AERIES Portal during the online Registration.

Tuberculosis Screening. A negative tuberculosis (TB) test result is required for all first-year students, as well as any student who has recently resided in or visited a foreign country for 30 days or more. Results must be within 30 days of arriving on campus.

Vital Health Record. This is a series of medical history questions that allow us to identify, care, and treat your student armed with up-to-date medical history and information. This section also requires medical practitioner information and proof of active health insurance.

Asthma. If your student has asthma, please explain his condition in detail. You will need to have your medical practitioner (MD, DO, or NP) provide an Asthma Action Plan form and a practitioner signature. You will also need to provide the necessary inhalers and one (1) peak flow meter. The Health Center recommends two (2) rescue inhalers: one for the student to keep on his person and one to store in the Health Center.

Allergies. Please clearly state all food, environmental, and medicinal allergies, and clarify if your student requires an EpiPen for severe allergies. If so, you must provide two (2) EpiPens: one to be stored in the Health Center and one for your student to carry on his person at all times. If applicable, you must provide a practitioner signature.

Seasonal Flu Vaccine. We strongly recommend that you opt in for this vaccine as students are regularly in close quarters with one another during flu season. If your student does not receive the vaccine and develops flu-like symptoms, he must recuperate off-campus at home or with a local guardian and return with a letter of clearance from a medical practitioner.

Forms. You must complete all required forms, including: Consent to Treat, Medical and Therapeutic Compliance, HIPAA, Prescription Medication Policy, California Code of Regulations, and Medication Authorization Form. Some forms are to be completed by a licensed medical provider and some are for the parent/guardian. With respect to the Medication Authorization form, special conditions apply to all epi-pens, inhalers, prescription drugs and over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, etc.

Physical Examination with Sports Clearance. A sports physical is required prior to your student’s move-in. This form must be the Academy’s current-year form, and it must be completed by a medical practitioner (MD, DO, or NP). This document is required annually, and you must arrange to renew this document if it expires during the school year.

Immunizations. We adhere to the immunization requirements of the state of California. Please provide and upload up-to-date documentation in Aeries for review. Any requested exemptions must be processed through CAIR-ME. We highly recommend the 2-dose hepatitis A vaccine, but it is not required.

Proof of active health insurance is a mandatory requirement for all cadets enrolled at the Army and Navy Academy. Parents/guardians must provide a copy of the front and back of the student’s current health insurance card through the Aeries Parent Portal. Health insurance information must remain current throughout the school year. Parents/guardians are responsible for updating the Health Center whenever there is a change in insurance coverage or provider. This requirement must also be completed annually during the registration process for each new school year.

STEP 4: ATHLETICS

For your student’s safety and success, you must complete several athletic forms required to support his athletic participation at the Academy. Some forms are required for Academy internal use, while others are mandated by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). The Academy is a proud member of CIF, which governs the majority of sports in which we compete against other schools.

Portrait of Nehemiah Brunson, Army and Navy Academy

My name’s Nehemiah Brunson. I am the Director of Athletics and I can answer your questions about our sports programs or connect you with our coaches. Call me at 760.547.5259 or email me any time at  nbrunson@armyandnavyacademy.org.

FORMS

Please ensure that you have completed the following forms prior to your student’s arrival for campus move-in:

Army and Navy Academy Athletics Form. This form can be downloaded HERE and provides authorization for your cadet to participate in sports at the Academy. For informational purposes, it contains a checklist of items required for each of the Fall sports.

CIF Ethics in Sports Form. This form is required by CIF for all student athletes. Please download it HERE. You and your athlete must sign the form.

Cadets who are in 10th grade or above must also complete the following:

CIF Full Family Move Documentation Checklist. This form must be completed and all steps checked. It details the process of moving your athlete between schools. It can be downloaded HERE.

CIF Form 510 – Pre-Enrollment Contact Affidavit. This form is a mandatory affidavit indicating that the Academy took no steps to recruit your student athletically prior to completion of the enrollment process. It can be downloaded HERE.

CIF Change of Address Form. This form is used to validate your student’s change of address. It can be downloaded HERE.

All required forms must be signed by the mandated parties, scanned, and emailed to athletics@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 5: ADVANCEMENT

Army and Navy Academy’s rich history is built upon the generous support of our donors. Tuition revenue alone cannot cover our slate of innovative and engaging programs, historic beachfront campus, and world-class faculty and staff. When our community comes together to support the Academy, our students see the benefit, and your generosity changes student lives and future trajectories. We encourage families to give according to their individual capability. 

GIVING

Spanning more than a century of academic excellence, military tradition and leadership development, the history of Army and Navy Academy runs deep and is multi-faceted. However, the history is incomplete without acknowledging the philanthropy that was, and is, interwoven to make ANA the place for boys to be bold.

Beginning in 1950, when Academy benefactors Arthur and Gertrude Anderson gifted Army and Navy Academy the prime beachfront property where the school still resides, the Academy relies on the generosity of the entire ANA community to ensure the continuous education of tomorrow’s leaders.

Throughout the years, Cadets have benefited from the gifts given to further them and their journey at ANA. Gifts to the academy have supported, and continue to support, financial assistance to Cadets whose families otherwise would not be able to afford an ANA education, the construction and upcoming renovation of the campus facilities, a robust and rewarding athletics program, and recruiting and retaining highly skilled faculty, staff, and former military personnel.

To learn more about opportunities to support the Academy, please visit our Giving page.

STAY INFORMED

Throughout the school year, the Academy hosts a wide range of events for students and families. The Weekly Warrior is our weekly school newsletter. It is emailed to the addresses you have on file in Aeries. If you are not receiving the Weekly Warrior, please contact marketing@armyandnavyacademy.org so we can help troubleshoot.

STEP 6: ANAPA

Army and Navy Academy has a colorful community of patrons. We consider the term “patrons” to encompass parents, guardians, and family members of our students. As a patron, you are automatically a member of the Army and Navy Academy Patrons’ Association, commonly referred to as ANAPA. Throughout the year, ANAPA helps parents to stay involved on campus to support our students and enjoy community events.

Hey there, I’m Jessica Alexander. I am a proud parent of an Army and Navy Academy Cadet and I am your ANAPA President. Please contact me through the ANAPA email box at anapa@armyandnavyacademy.org.

WHAT WE DO

Being a patron at Army and Navy Academy is a unique experience. Some of us are dealing with students boarding away from home. Many of our patrons are distant from the day-to-day activities and may be as much as a plane ride away. The ‘military’ piece of the program is most likely new to you, and you have invested financially, mentally, and emotionally in an educational path for your sons that you cannot always closely oversee. You have high hopes for your student as he embarks on this chapter of his life.

Every single one of your elected ANAPA representatives has been in your shoes. Our primary goal is to support you as you navigate the Army and Navy Academy experience!

We aim to:

  • Provide information and answer questions
  • Represent your interests to the Board of Trustees and school leadership
  • Facilitate patron-to-patron communication, a sense of community, and camaraderie
  • Offer both local and remote opportunities to get involved with cadet life enrichment, social connection, and staff appreciation

ANAPA participation provides a wonderful opportunity to be educated about and engage in the life of the school. Here are a few ways to stay connected:

  • Attend ANAPA meetings, which will be held on Closed Weekends
  • Connect with your ANAPA Patron Ambassador
  • Read all communications from ANAPA, your Ambassador, and the Academy
  • Sign up for the private ANAPA Facebook Group

We are here for you! Our first and foremost goal is to enhance your experience while supporting the school’s mission, vision, and values.

GET INVOLVED

There are multiple ways to get involved:

Patron Welcome Reception on Move-In Day. Move-In days are BIG events and ANAPA wants to provide you an opportunity to connect with ANAPA leadership and fellow parents. We’d also like to ensure you have a chance to learn more about ANAPA’s plan for the new year and let us know how you’d like to be involved. ANAPA will have a booth at every move-in event. Come visit with us!

ANAPA Meetings. ANAPA hosts in-person meetings on Closed Weekends to update parents on upcoming campus events, Cadet activities, volunteer opportunities, and Academy news.

ANAPA Facebook Group. This group is facilitated by ANAPA leaders. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for Cadets at Army and Navy Academy and we look forward to reconnecting with returning families and welcoming new families into the Warrior Family — please share your energy, ideas, talents, and contributions!

Volunteering. SignUp Genius announcements will be sent to patrons via email and will include both in-person AND remote opportunities to volunteer! Don’t despair if you are not local to the Academy; there WILL be ways for you to contribute and participate.

PARENT AMBASSADORS

Our Ambassador program joins with the ANAPA Board to provide a cohesive sense of community and connection amongst Academy patrons. They provide each family a point of connection, support, and information about the patron experience for prospective, new, and long-term patrons.

They also provide a line of communication and outreach between the Academy through ANAPA to prospective and current families to enhance understanding and comfort.

Each family will be assigned an Ambassador; if you do not receive communication from your Ambassador within the first two weeks after your son’s Move-In Day, please contact us at anapa@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 7: RESIDENTIAL LIFE

Whether your student is a Boarding Cadet or a Day Cadet, we’d like to help you get prepared for his time on campus. We call our residential life department Cadet Life. The Cadet Life staff mentor, train, and coach your student outside of the classroom, cultivating a sense of personal responsibility and self-discipline in every student. Our TAC (Trainer, Advisor, Coach) are experts in youth development who will be a primary point of contact for you and your student during your time with us.

Hello! I’m LTC Eric Kunak, the Commandant of Cadets. My department is responsible for your cadet’s experience outside of the classroom. Call me at 760.547.5210 or feel free to email me at ekunak@armyandnavyacademy.org.

PACKING LIST

Your student will receive an initial issue of uniform items and other essentials on his move-in day. Civilian attire is not authorized on campus after move-in. We recommend that you take any civilian attire with you when you drop off your student. To set your student up for success, we recommend the following items. Your student will receive an issue of bed sheets and a pillow upon arrival and these do not need to be packed.

Prohibited Items: electric blankets, weapons of any kind, skateboards, expensive jewelry, small kitchen appliances including hot pots, dietary supplements (protein powder, creatine, preworkout, etc.)

Army and Navy Academy does not carry insurance on the property of cadets and accepts no liability for lost, damaged, or stolen personal property.
