AFNORTH International School

1. Initial Process: Determine entitlement and begin registration. Entitled students from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Germany register through their national section offices; there is no tuition for this group. Non-entitled students with military or commercial affiliation wishing to enrol begin by contacting the International Directorate Secretary and submitting a Non-Entitled Student Application Form. The national section determines whether a position will be offered to a non-entitled student according to the admission policy, based on program and space availability. The school offers places for 900+ students aged between 3 and 18 registered in four National Sections. 2. Academic Admission Decision: If academic admission is NOT approved, the National section informs the parents. If academic admission is approved, the Directorate Secretary sends an official AIS acceptance letter to the parents and the National Section. The original application form is handed over to the Finance Manager for invoicing to the responsible party listed on the non-entitled application form. The check list on page 3 is completed; the application is processed as a ‘Green Application Form' and distributed to the National Section. The National Section fills out the student number and returns the original non-entitled application form to the Directorate Secretary. The green form and the original non-entitled application form are handed to the Finance Manager to check for overpayment refunds and/or issue a credit note. 3. Administrative and Tuition Arrangements: Dutch Customs Authority statistics for the student population must be reported twice per year (April and October). Tuition fees payments may be made annually, bi-annually, or quarterly and must be paid in advance of the first day of attendance; exceptions may be considered in extreme circumstances only. Additional fees apply to co-curricular activities hosted by the US National Section for fee-paying students. Invoices are issued in Euros by the Directorate and are mailed within 5 working days of 1 July after currency exchange considerations; payment is due within 30 days. 4. Admission Criteria: Entitled students (US, Canadian, British sections) are not allowed to enroll in another English-language section if their own section can provide the program; Entitled US students may cross over to the German section; British entitled students needing to enroll in middle school may enroll in the Canadian section. Tuition-fee paying students are assigned to sections based on language and space availability (English-language education may be enrolled in British, Canadian, or US sections; middle/high school education in English may enroll in Canadian or US sections), with an aim to honour families' preferences where possible.
