Admissions	Admissions 1. Submit an online application: Go to Admission on alsson.com and complete the online application form. Have soft copies of your child's photo, birth certificate, and both parents' ID ready. After your application is processed, the registrar's office will contact you with an assessment date and time. 2. Assessment and potential waiting list: After processing, you will receive an assessment date/time for your child. An invitation to assessment does not guarantee a place, as applicants may be placed on a waiting list until a place becomes available. For Early Years assessments, EY/EC staff assess development against age; for older students, MAP (American) or GL (British) tests are done online in school, with an oral assessment. 3. Testing and interview: Older students undertake MAP (American) or GL (British) tests online in school, along with an oral assessment to determine academic level. If the tests are satisfactory, you will be invited to a final interview with the School Director(s). This interview is the last step before a placement decision. 4. On assessment day and finalization: You must bring your child's original birth certificate and four passport photos to the registrar. If a place is awarded, complete the registration within five working days. Once the required payments are received, your child is onboard and officially enrolled. 5.
