STUDENT ADMISSION
Admission for all students for the 2023-2024 school year will be determined by the Admission Committee based on age (see chart below), academic records and reports, a written examination, interview, level of English, and on space availability. Students will only be considered eligible for admission if the committee believes that the school can meet their physical, emotional, social, and academic needs.
Please also note that AISA does not have a program to teach English and cannot accept students with special needs who have come from self-contained special education programs, who have had a private assistant in the classroom, or who need special accommodations.
From Grades 1-8 students will need an increasing level of English proficiency to be successful at each grade.
