Dr. Christopher Fuglesang, NASA Astronaunt and Awty Parent, on his first mission STS-116 Discovery as the first Swede to ever visit space…
“You realize how small the world actually is when you go around the world that fast, looking down at earth you know all of the countries but you don’t see the borders. That gives an understanding of how we need to live together.”
ADMISSIONS DECISIONS
The Awty International School seeks to enroll qualified students (above average) of strong character who will be successful in our program and who will be a positive addition to our School community.
Please note that admission into the International Section of the School is competitive and selective. Each applicant file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee, including the Director of Admissions, Heads of School, and appropriate faculty and staff. Decisions are based on evaluation of the applicant’s visit (6th-12th), previous and current school reports, standardized test results, teacher recommendations and the availability of space.
Applications are due December 20th. Completed files are due no later than January 27th. Files must be complete before they are considered. Final admissions decisions are made, and notification is sent to families mid March. Early application is encouraged. Late applications are considered as space becomes available.
There is no deadline for applications from outside the US, however, due to class size restrictions, early application is encouraged. Families making a late application are encouraged to call the admissions office prior to applying.

• A completed application form
• $100.00 application fee (non-refundable)
• An official school transcript (translated into English)
