Admission Policies

The school has specific admission policies. It uses a battery of tests for examining all applying children, particularly in the areas of English and Math. These test results, along with previous grades and recommendations guide the Admissions Committee decisions on the acceptance. A critical factor involved is whether or not there is available space in the grade level for which the child is applying.

Another factor in admitting students is the Guatemalan Ministry of Education (MINEDUC).

Transfer students who have been attending schools outside Guatemala prior to applying with the school must demonstrate acceptable examination results and grades. Their transcripts must also comply with the requirements of the MINEDUC.
