Our admissions procedures are essentially the same as for local applicants. However, evaluations are tailored to family travel constraints. For Grades 1 through 8, given that we have space available, a strong dossier from a recognized French school is usually viewed as sufficient evidence for acceptance. Potential applicants from overseas should contact our Admission Associate, Karine Luguet.

Students from public, independent, and parochial schools are admitted to the French American International School and International High School on the basis of academic records and other data. Our Admission policies are non-discriminatory.
