International Admissions

List of 8 items.

• 1. Online Application

  A completed online application packet, accompanied by the non-refundable application fee is required to initiate the formal application process.
  
  

  Applications for students entering Grades 9-11 are still being accepted for the 2020-2021 school year. Please contact us if you have any questions.

• 2. Official School Transcript & Evaluation

  Completed applications will include a copy of the applicant’s official school transcript for the past two years. The online application includes a downloadable Request for Transcript & School Evaluation Form. Please have your most recent school(s) complete this form and send an official school transcript directly to Annie Wright. Note: Schools often require as long as two weeks to complete transcript requests. 

• 3. Teacher Recommendations

  A Math and English teacher online recommendation form must be completed by the applicant’s current or past teachers. The Teacher Recommendation Requests are included in the online application and require the student's current teacher’s email address. Completed recommendations are submitted electronically to the admissions team upon completion by the teacher.

• 4. Campus Visit & Interview

  Campus visits are strongly encouraged. If a campus visit is not possible we will coordinate a virtual interview.

• 5. Math Assessment

  Our online mathematics admissions assessment covers core Middle School mathematics concepts. We treat the results of the assessment as only one piece of data - one piece - that contributes to our admissions decision. This assessment is not a course placement exam.

• 6. Official ETS TOEFL Score Requirements & Report

  Our end goal is for every student to earn a 100 or higher on the Internet-Based TOEFL Exam (iBT) prior to graduation from Annie Wright Schools. This goal is driven by the American university admission process. When reviewing international student applications, colleges consider four main criteria:
  
  

  Rigor of course load | Grades earned | SAT or ACT score | Extracurricular Activities | iBT TOEFL score
   

  GRADE PLACEMENT 

  TOEFL score largely determines grade level placement. We do not accept IELTS, SLEP, Duolingo or TOEFL Jr.

  
  Grade 9:  60+ to be considered, 70+ to be competitive 

  Grade 10: 70+ to be considered, 90+ to be competitive 

  Grade 11: 80+ to be considered, 100+ to be competitive 

  Grade 12: 90+ to be considered, 100+ to be competitive
  
  An official ETS TOEFL score report should be sent directly to the school.  Our school code is 8624.
  
  If a student has been educated in an English curriculum for the last three years, an official ETS TOEFL score is recommended but not required.

• 7. Bank Statement & Passport

  In order to process an I-20 for international students, the following documents are required as part of the admissions application:
  

  • Copy of the student's passport with photo and expiration date
