The school serves students ages 3–18 across four divisions: Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High School. The admissions process consists of four steps. Step 1: Meet with an Admissions Officer to discuss programs, activities, and student support, and to conduct an interview that informs the preliminary admissions decision. Step 2: Take a comprehensive guided tour of MAS to view facilities and ask questions; tours take about 30 minutes. Step 3: Complete a placement exam in Math and English to determine the appropriate grade level; an optional Arabic section is offered; high school students may meet with University & Academic Counselors for scheduling. Step 4: Complete the application package and return it to Student Affairs; registration is encouraged before terms or school years end-to-commit; if a grade level is full, applicants may be placed on a waiting list. Admission is non-discriminatory and contingent on the program being suitable for the applicant; decisions do not rely on race, nationality, religion, or gender. Contact details are provided for further questions.
If a grade level section becomes full, applicants may be placed on a waiting list.
