Admission Policy

  • All prospective students in PreK - Grade 3, accompanied by their parents, are required to sit for a one-on-one interview to confirm admission. The interview is conducted by a panel or designated personnel in order to fairly understand whether or not the prospective student can meet the academic demands of the specific grade level they are applying for.
  • Students Grades 4 - 12 are required to take a computerized entrance exam in English, Math, and Arabic (A&B) for the appropriate grade level. A post-exam interview with Career & Guidance Counsellor is mandatory for Grades 9-12 prospective students.
  • Some students may be asked to undergo extra testing (outside/inside the school) in order to satisfy admission requirements for students requiring special assistance. The school may ask parents to provide medical/psychological/psychiatric/pediatric test analysis, in case a student needs extra support in the classroom depending on their physical/psychological/academic learning needs.
  • If a student has been diagnosed with any learning disabilities prior to seeking admission in ASCS, parents are asked, at the time of admission, to provide our team of social workers with the necessary documentation, so a fair analysis can be made of how to provide support to the child in the classroom.
