1. Internal Admissions to the Diploma Programme. The minimum requirements are a GPA of 3.0 or higher; MAP/PSAT scores above grade level; two strong teacher recommendations (one from English or mathematics); Citizenship grade of at least 83/100; and an essay with a minimum score of B, graded by two English teachers. The same criteria apply to ninth-grade students entering the Pre-IB programme in grade 10. If a student meets Citizenship and teacher recommendation requirements but does not meet the GPA or MAP criteria, the Admissions Committee will review the case to determine DP readiness and potential for improvement. 2. External Admissions to the Diploma Programme. External applicants must have a parent complete the application; AAC receives current transcripts and records from the last two years of the student's educational history. Two teacher evaluations must be submitted, with one from Math or English. The student must be interviewed by members of the admissions committee. Standardized test scores (MAP or similar) must be submitted, and the student must have a cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.0. All documents are submitted to the Admissions Office for DP consideration and final decision by the Admissions Committee. 3. The Admissions Committee and inclusive admissions. The Admissions Committee comprises the Head of School; the Director of Admissions; the IB Coordinator; the Foreign Language Teacher; the High School student-class president; the Learning Support Services Coordinator; the HS Guidance and college counselor; and the SEN Admissions representative. AAC operates an inclusive admissions policy and encourages all students to pursue the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. For students with special needs, the school considers whether the necessary resources are available to support the candidate. AAC offers partial or full Diploma Programme classes; AAC will continue to offer AP classes for students who cannot meet DP requirements. AAC is an IB Diploma Programme candidate school and planned to offer the Diploma Programme starting in August 2020.
