Openings

International Program

  • 6th Grade: About 15 new students join the 6th grade class each year.
  • 9th Grade: About 15 new students join the 9th grade class each year.
  • In all other grades, openings are based on attrition with new enrollment of 0 to 5.

French Accredited Program

The number of openings varies year to year by grade level, but we are usually able to accommodate new students at each grade level with new enrollment of 1 to 10 students.

As an international school, we do expect some amount of mobility in our population, but we are not able to guarantee the number of places that will be available in any given grade.

Testing

We no longer require OLSAT testing for our local applicants. We do, however, still require ISEE testing from all candidates applying to our Secondary International Program. We will administer the ISEE for a limited number of Awty applicants on December 2, 2023. Please visit www.iseetest.org to register.

Although ISEE testing is our preferred option, we will also accept SSAT testing (with character skills assessment).

ISEE: Register online at www.iseetest.org – Awty International School test site code: 447771.
SSAT: Register online at ssat.org – also check www.ssat.org/testing/home/guide-to-the-ssat-at-home

International Applicants

We understand that applying from outside of the United States can be complicated. While we recommend visiting Awty after submitting your application, we will work with you to facilitate your application should you run into any obstacles meeting the application requirements.
