Requirements for New Students

Application

When applying to AISR, we ask that you fill out the application form, which is on-line, or request a paper form from the administration office Once the application form has been received, we will meet with the prospective student and parents. Please call us and make an admissions appointment.

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 as follows. Once the admissions form has been filled out, we need three years of the most recent school records (translated into English). An academic interview with the student is then normally conducted by the 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 EAL specialist. Once the testing and interview process is completed the Admissions Committee 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 as soon as possible to allow the students to enter the school without further delay.

To complete your admissions file you will need to provide the following documents:

  • A completed AISR application form
  • Documented proof of birth date (photocopy of passport, ID card or birth certificate)

Enrollment

Final enrollment will take place after the student is officially accepted by the Admissions Committee and the appropriate fees are paid.
