Admissions Procedure
Questions on admission should be directed to Admin Assistant and Receptionist Joseph Thomas at admin@ais- freetown.net or to the Director, Elizabeth Minnigin, at director@ais-freetown.net.
Admissions Process at AISF
The American International School of Freetown uses an open rolling admissions process. This means that we do not have a set admissions season. AISF accepts applications year-round for all grades. All materials necessary to apply for a place at AISF are available in the drop-down menu links. Simply complete the forms and send directly to the school. Admissions forms may be scanned and sent by email to director@ais- freetown.net or they can be delivered in hard copy to Reception at the school.
Conditions relevant to student admissions include the following:
-
Our school is able to accept students with specific special learning needs only if those needs are diagnosed as mild. The family must provide full disclosure of the nature of those learning needs.
-
Classrooms at AISF include two grade levels per classroom: PreK/KG, Grade 1/2, Grade 3/4, Grade 5/6, Grade 7/8.
-
AISF offers US high school education for grades 9 through 12, blending online academics with on site enrichment. AISF high school students can earn a US High School Diploma.
-
AISF reserves the option to administer a standardized assessment to new students as part of the admissions process. We use admissions testing to ensure that our school plans wisely for every student. Parents always receive the testing results. Test results are not used to deny admission unless results clearly indicate that the student cannot be served adequately in our program.
Follow these 4 easy steps
Step 1
Complete and submit either an electronic or hard copy of our application form and supply the required documents. These documents are outlined in the application itself. It is particularly important to provide school records for the past two academic years (this is waived for our youngest learners who have yet to attend school). This includes Individual Education Plans or educational evaluations.
Step 2
If, upon review of the documentation, we believe that additional testing for English language or other needs, AISF will contact you to arrange such testing.
Step 3
When the file is complete and the Director has approved placement, you will receive an email of acceptance from Joseph Thomas.
Step 4
Your child(ren) may begin school at a mutually agreed date. If you have any questions at all, just ask!
