Admissions policy

As AISR is a university-prep school that admits students beginning at age 3, we wish to attract and enroll qualified students whose ultimate goal is to attend university.The language of instruction is English and students can ultimately earn a US High School (AISR) diploma as well as having the option of earning the IB (International Baccalaureate) diploma.

A child applying for the Pre-Kindergarten One Program must be three years old prior to October 20th.  Similarly, a child applying for the Pre-Kindergarten Two program must be four years old prior to October 20th. A child must be five years old before October 20th to enter Kindergarten; and six years old before October 20th to enter Grade 1.

Prospective students will be considered on a first come - first served basis. Prior to being considered for admission to the school, an application form for the prospective student must be submitted along with a request for an interview. Applicants to the school are selected on the basis of previous academic records, standardized test scores, level of English ability (beginning at grade 5) and thepersonal,academic interview. (See admissions requirements for more detail). The Admissions Committee makes the final decision regarding entrance to the AISR.

Prospective students who apply and are accepted to AISR from schools or educational systems who have a different school calendar (like those commonly found in schools in Korea, Japan or Australia) will be placed in the grade that they are currently attending, if they are admitted at the start of the new school year. If they are accepted in January, they will be placed in the grade that they have just completed in their previous school.

Space limitations may require that the enrollment at any particular grade level be closed. If that is the case, a waiting list will be established.

AISR is able to accept a limited number of students with mild learning needs, and will consider those students only if official documentation(ie IEPs, psychological testing reports, etc) is submitted prior to the date of the admissions interview. AISR does not provide self-contained special ed. classrooms at any level, nor do we have facilities for children with physical or emotional handicaps.

We require students who are admitted to AISR to be in residence with at least one parent or a legally appointed guardian.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or ethnic origin in its admissions policies or administration of its educational programs. We welcome diversity.
