Admissions

Admissions
The tour provides information about ASM's programs and campus life and offers an opportunity to ask questions. A campus visit is recommended before submitting an application. The Admissions Office can outline the next steps in the process.

Complete and mail the application materials to the ASM Admissions Office. Include an official copy of the child's birth certificate. If applicable, arrange for teacher evaluation forms and the transcript/grades release form to be mailed directly to ASM by the current school. Enclose a 1000 MAD application fee.

The Admissions Office will contact families to arrange testing and interviews once the completed application materials are received. Prospective students in Grades 2 and higher will sit for an Admissions Entrance Screening Test. Computer-based tests are administered in English and Mathematics. Processing time usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.

If acceptance is confirmed, the student may start after completing all registration requirements. After all requirements are met, there is a three-day waiting period before the student can officially join classes. School starts the first week of September and ends mid-June.

Mid-year admissions are possible if spots are available. The Admissions Office reviews mid-year requests on a space-availability basis. Families should contact the Admissions Office to inquire about current openings.
