FAQs

 

1.  What is the first step in gaining admission to ASK?

If you are interested in pursuing admission to ASK, the first step is to use the form on this website to send to the admission personnel if you are outside the country. If you are in the country, you should come to the school and go to the admissions office (owners office).  His secretary will give you the necessary papers that need to be filled out and returned to the secretary.

2.  What documents will I need to complete an application?


Two photo’s of the student
A copy of the father’s passport
A copy of the student’s passport
A copy of the father’s Civil ID
A copy of the student’s Civil ID
A copy of the student’s birth certificate
An original copy of the student’s last report card
An official copy of the student’s transcript
A signed copy of the blue enrollment sheet
Family information sheet
The Arabic enrollment form signed
 

3.  What happens after all paperwork has been completed?


The parent will be contacted and a testing date will be determined. The student will be asked to come to the school for testing. The test takes around one hour complete. After the test is submitted, the parent will be contacted and told if the student has been admitted.

4.  What kind of test is it?


In the elementary, the Test of Academic of Academic Performance is given. It measures the mathematics, spelling, reading recognition, and reading comprehension level. By taking this test, we have a measure of the grade level at which the student is functioning.

In the middle school and high school we give The Three R’s Test. It is divided into reading comprehension, grammar, and math. It will give us a percentile score that will tell how the student did in comparison to other students at our school.

5.  Why is an admission test given?


Because our school is college preparatory in nature, it is important that students who are admitted have the ability to be successful at our school. These tests let us know how the student will do here.

6.  If my child has been in the British system, how is grade placement done?

The numbering system in the British system is different from ours. If a student is in level two in the British system, the equivalent grade in the American system is grade one. It is important to realize that this is not repeating a grade. It is merely a different numbering system.
