Requirements for New Students

Application

Assessment

At the elementary level each prospective student meets with the elementary Principal for a brief interview and testing where appropriate.

The admissions process for prospective middle and high school students is a combination of several things. Once the admissions form has been filled out, AISR requires three years of the most recent school records (translated into English). A required academic interview with the student is conducted by the MS/HS Counselor. Academic records will be reviewed, and a fifteen minute writing sample is part of the admissions interview. Depending on the prospective student's English level, an English language test may be administered by the ESL specialist. This test takes about one and a half hours to administer.Once the testing and interview process is completed, then the student file which includes records and interview information, will be taken to the Admissions Committee which then makes a decision to admit or deny entrance to the student. No decision will be made if the academic records have not been received prior to the interview. We try to complete this process within 48 hours of the student interview and testing, so as to admit a student as soon as possible once we have met with them.

As we are a university prep school, AISR is interested in accepting students who are academically capable and who demonstrate a strong work ethic and interest in learning. Academic records, standardized test scores and comments made by previous teachers help us to have a broad view of each student who is applying to our school. When a student at the high school level applies to AISR, a comprehensive review of his courses is made to ensure that s/he is meeting our graduation requirements and has earned credits for the appropriate grade placement.
