In order to enter the American Kindergarten a
child should be approximately 5 years old on September 15th or
ready to enter the Egyptian KG2. If a child is 6 years old on
September 15th, she/he is in the American 1st Grade. It is felt
that mental , social and physical maturity must correspond by
years to the appropriate grade level for each child.
To enter the following grades at The American School of
Alexandria a student has to be appropriate average age for
entrance by September 15th of the school year:
Kindergarten: = 5 years old; 1st Grade = 6 years old; 2nd Grade
= 7 years old; 3rd Grade = 8 years old; 4th Grade = 9 years old;
5th Grade = 10 years old; 6th Grade = 11 years old; 7th Grade =
12 years old; 8th Grade = 13 years old; 9th Grade = 14 years
old; 10th Grade = 15 years old; 11th Grade = 16 years old; 12th
Grade = 17 years old. ASA seldom admits students to the 12th
grades.
Students are only admitted to the high school in the 9th and
10th grades if they have attended an American, Canadian, or
accredited European school for at least two years immediately
prior to being admitted, and then they may be admitted to the
11th grade if they meet both the academic criteria and the age
qualifications for that grade. Occasionally, ASA admits new
students to the 12th grade. Students who have been newly
admitted to the high school must take a Math and English
placement test, and a French placement test if applicable. |
