  ASA Grade Level System:

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.
