Admission Policy 
Revised and approved by the Board on February 25, 2009. AISA is an accredited school offering a co-educational day program from Preschool to 12th Grade for students of all nationalities. The Office of Overseas Schools, U.S. State Department gives an annual grant to AISA to assist in security and the operation of its programs. In accordance with a special working relationship between AISA and the U.S. Embassy, outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated 18 June 2007, the children of U.S. Embassy families on diplomatic or military status, whose tuition is paid by the U.S. Government, will be able to access immediate admission to AISA. In addition, children of overseas recruited staff of AISA, afte meetinf all of the condtions below, will access immediate admission to AISA. Finally, those participating in the Special Assessment Fee Program* will access immediate admission given that all criteria are met. All applicants must meet all admission requirements, including: age policy, placement test, previous school records, payment of Tuition and Capital Building Fees as outlined in 200.9 of the Policy Manual. Application for admission to AISA will be considered on the priority scheme outlined below. However, all applicants must meet admission criteria before being admitted to AISA, regardless of status in Nigeria. AISA reserves the right to deny admission to any student who fails to meet all the requirements. While copies of documents or unofficial reports may be accepted for the purposes of evaluation, all required official documentation must be submitted, received, and verified prior to any official offer of acceptance. Any students requiring special consideration, particularly students with special needs, must have completed records forwarded to the Admissions Coordinator before a decision can be made. As it is not possible for AISA to meet the needs of all students, it is the responsibility of the parents to disclose all documentation fully prior to an offer of admission being made. Failure of any applicant to disclose fully in any instance may result in the offer of acceptance being rescinded. AISA reserves the right to deny admission to student whose special needs cannot be serviced by the school.
A conditional acceptance may be offered by the school, but all conditional acceptances are subject to final confirmation only after all necessary and outstanding documents, issues, or questions have been settled to the satisfaction of the school. All students entering AISA will be required to complete a placement exam. Incomplete exams will not be accepted and students will be required to re-take the exams or will risk not being admitted to the school.
Independent of the admissions categories above, enrolled students who are in good standing have the highest priority for continued enrollment and places will not be eliminated for these students in order to admit new students. *Special Assessment Fee: Organizations or individuals who wish to expedite the admission of their child (ren) are required to pay a one-time Special Assessment Fee of $7,000 per child. All Special Assessment Fees must be paid in full by the last day of the previous school year. At that time, the Administration must be informed of the ages and probable grade levels of the incoming applicant. The one-time Special Assessment Fee is not refundable unless the applicant does not meet the admissions requirements. School Calendar and Attendance It is the responsibility of applicants and their parents to adhere to the starting dates published in the school calendar and available in the admissions packet and on the school website. Applicants are expected to attend school from the day they are admitted unless otherwise stipulated by the school. Previous attendance at AISA or space available does not guarantee admission or likely admission. Because of the amount of time lost and work that needs to be made up, as well as the unreasonable burden late admissions place on teachers and classes, admission may not be granted after ten school days but upon exceptional circumstances, regardless of space availability. Students transferring directly from another school system and who have been in attendance in the current school year prior to transferring will be admitted. Their leaving grades from the previous school may be accepted as evidence of attendance and for the purpose of assigning grades and credits for the period prior to attendance at AISA, provided all other admissions requirements have been met. Admissions will be made on a case by case basis by the division principal, after a thorough review of the student records and, as needed, in consultation with the appropriate classroom/subject area teachers. Regardless of when students are admitted to the school, it is the responsibility of the student to make up and complete all work missed due to the late admission, as required by the administration. |
