Priority

According to ACS Board policy, there are six categories of applicants. One of the duties of the Superintendent is to monitor enrollment to prioritize available space for new Category 1 and Category 2 applicants.

As required by the ACS Constitution and By-Laws, the Board has established the following priorities for admission to The American Community School:

1. American Students
   1. American children of employees of the American Embassy/AD 
   2. American children of employees of ACS Corporate Sponsors
   3. All other American students & children of American parents
2. Non-American children of employees of ACS Corporate Sponsors
3. Non-American siblings of students currently enrolled in ACS/AD
4. Non-American students transferring from an American curriculum school worldwide
5. Former non-American ACS students
6. All other non-American students

If the number of students seeking admission within a priority category exceeds the number of available seats, the students will be waitlisted in the order that their completed written applications were received and application fee paid.

Once a child is enrolled, he/she will be treated on a basis equal to all other children regardless of nationality, and will continue to be enrolled as long as he/she meets the school’s academic, behavioral, and financial requirements.
