Parents must follow this link to fill out the online admission application form.
3) Schedule an interview
After submitting the online application, parents of students applying from K1 to first grade should schedule an interview. From second grade to eleventh grade, families must follow the admission calendar.
Please note that all students must live with a parent or legal guardian while attending ASF. Guardians are required to join the applicant at the time of the admission interview so they understand the conditions of guardianship.
4) Send report cards and recommendation forms
Once you have submitted your online application, you should email current school records as they become available to the admissions office.
After the student has been enrolled in his or her current school for at least three months of the current academic year, you must request recommendation forms from that school. If you are applying for grades K1-5, please request one ASF School Recommendation form.
If you are applying for grades 6-11 please request three recommendation forms: one from the principal or counselor; one from an English or social studies teacher; and one from a math or science teacher.

Admission Priorities
When there are more qualified candidates for admission than openings available, the following priorities will be taken into account:
ASF does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in the admission of the applicants, the administration of its educational or other policies and its scholarship and tuition assistance programs, and any other ASF-administered programs. ASF admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at ASF.
Candidates arriving from abroad
During the school year enrollment is available for qualified candidates arriving from abroad. Candidates must submit an online application and school recommendation forms. The Admission Committee will review the applicant's file once all the required documents have been received by the Admission Office. You are welcome to contact the Admission and Financial Aid Office for additional information or to check if your application file is complete.
