American School International accepts students who meet the age requirements for the grade they wish to enter and provides a full-English education. To apply to ASI Costa Verde: review the grade-age eligibility; submit an application form; provide required documents (copy of the student's ID/birth certificate or passport, copy of the parent's ID or passport, school transcript and report cards, two passport-sized photographs, immunization record and health certificate, and a letter of behavior/good standing from the last school attended); after receiving the pre-enrollment fee, schedule an admissions interview with a member of the admissions team; once accepted, receive a letter of acceptance and enrollment instructions. The pre-enrollment policy includes a one-time non-refundable processing fee and a non-refundable enrollment fee to reserve a seat; returning students must pay the enrollment fee by the reenrollment deadline to secure their spot, and reenrollment is not possible if current-year fees remain unpaid. PK3–Grade 1 admissions involve a parent interview with the Director or Psychologist; Grade 2–Grade 8 admissions involve an English and math assessment (no advance study required), with the option to take the math portion in English or Spanish, and the exam may take up to two hours.
The waitlist is open; as new phases of ASI Costa Verde are opened, more seats become available, and the waitlist is growing quickly with seats filling rapidly.
