English Language Proficiency

The following excerpt is taken from the ASM Policy Manual:

English proficiency requirements for admission to ASM are as follows:

Grades EC – 2 English Language Learner (ELL) students with beginning level English proficiency may be admitted at these grade levels.
Grades 3 – 5 Students must demonstrate an intermediate level of English proficiency. International ELL students with a low English proficiency level may be admitted at these grade levels, at the discretion of the Director.
Grades 6 – 8 Students must demonstrate an intermediate level of English proficiency or demonstrate the ability to be successful in ASM’s ELL program.
Grades 9 – 10 Students must demonstrate an advanced level of English proficiency.
Grades 11 – 12 Students must be at grade level English proficiency.

 

Admission of all ELL students is contingent upon the availability of space in the ELL program. Upon arrival, students will be tested and placed using an internationally recognized assessment tool. The student’s program will be designed based upon individual needs and progress.

All ELL students will be admitted on a probationary status for between one and two semesters. Students admitted to the ELL program may pay an additional ELL service fee as determined by the administration.

Outside tutoring and summer school may be required at the family’s expense. Exceptions to the above guidelines may be made at the discretion of the Director.
