Admission Criteria at Aquinas American School
At Aquinas American School, we value the diversity and potential of each student. During the admission process, we assess various aspects such as academic history, individual evaluation, recommendation letters, interest in the school’s philosophy, and commitment to our mission. To begin the admission process, it is necessary to complete the application through our online platform. Additionally, the following documentation is required:
1. Application Form
The online application form must be completed on our platform.
2. Academic Records
Grades from the last two academic years and the current year must be submitted.
3. Recommendation Letters
Parents must enter the details of a teacher or tutor in our platform, who will receive a form to complete.
4. English Proficiency
Non-native English-speaking students applying for grades 7-12 must take the Duolingo English Test (DET). The minimum English levels required for each grade are as follows:
- G7 & G8: 120 points
- G9 & G10: 130 points
- G11 & G12: 135 points
Instructions to share Duolingo English Test scores: https://englishtest.duolingo.com/sharing.
To take the test, please refer to the attached flyer
The test can be taken at home and is a quick and accessible alternative.
Aquinas American School reserves the right to admit, conditionally admit, place on a waiting list, or deny admission to any applicant. Admission is not considered final until the family receives an official letter with the decision from the Admissions Committee.
All enrollments are conditional until the grades from the previous year are received before enrollment. All students who have completed grades 7-11 abroad will need to provide the original apostilled or certified documents from their home country.
In exceptional cases, we will admit G12 students unless they have been abroad for at least 5 years or were without schooling due to their relocation.
