Aquinas will grant admission after evaluating each application based on the following:

1. 1. Each applicant’s previous school record
   2. Letter of recommendation
   3. An individual assessment consisting of a personal interview and age appropriate entrance exams
   4. Knowledge of and interest in the school’s philosophy and project, including extracurricular activities
   5. Commitment to the school mission.

After evaluating the former, siblings of Aquinas students and children of Aquinas Faculty and staff will have priority admission.

The admissions process may have several outcomes. Aquinas reserves the right to admit, admit conditionally, place on the waitlist or deny admission to any candidate. An admission is not final until the family receives an official letter with the decision of the Admissions Committee.

Please note you will be asked to provide the following documents:

· Fill in the application form

· Grades for the previous 2 years and the current year

· Two letters of recommendation from your previous school that will be requested by the admissions platform directly to the teacher, principal or tutor assigned in your application.

Non-native English speakers applying for grades 9 – 12 must provide results from the Duolingo English Test (DET)., achieving a score of 120 or higher. Duolingo has created a reliable and user-friendly English language proficiency exam that students can take on a computer. It is a fast and inexpensive alternative to other options. The exam uses computer-adaptive testing, meaning the questions will adapt to each test taker’s ability, generating a different set of questions for every session. The exam requires the Google Chrome browser and your computer’s self-facing camera and microphone. The testing session is recorded and verified by a Duolingo proctor, and the results are available within 48 hours.
