Admission Policy

Admission Policy and Criteria

American Excellence Schools (AES) admits students in line with Ministry of Education regulations and AES policy. Admission is open to all nationalities, provided students can access a well-rounded education in English.

AES has limited capacity for students with special educational needs and cannot accommodate severe learning disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia, or Dyscalculia. Priority is given to students able to cope with the curriculum.

Criteria

Applicants must demonstrate grade-appropriate English proficiency, along with curiosity, adaptability, and strong values.

Academic Integrity

AES upholds the highest standards of academic integrity. Students are expected to submit their own work and avoid plagiarism, cheating, or unauthorized collaboration. Consequences may include loss of credit, disciplinary action, and parental notification.

Behavior and Conduct

All AES students are representatives of our school community. Respectful, responsible, and safe behavior is expected at all times, both on and off campus. Inappropriate behavior, including online misconduct, may result in disciplinary measures.

Bullying

AES has a zero-tolerance policy toward bullying. Any form of bullying, including physical, verbal, or online, will result in disciplinary action.

Respect for Learning Environment

AES classrooms are dedicated to learning. Students are expected to arrive prepared, participate actively, and avoid disrupting lessons. As such, interrupting the educational process inside or outside the classroom is taken seriously.

Attendance and Punctuality

Regular attendance and punctuality are essential for academic success. Students must be on campus by 7:45 a.m. Frequent tardiness or unexcused absences may negatively affect a student’s academic progress and overall learning experience.

Dismissal and Pick-Up

Students should be picked up promptly after dismissal. Parents and guardians are responsible for their child’s safety once school ends. Loitering on campus after hours is not permitted without school authorization.

Absences Notification

If students are absent for any reason, parents must inform the school administration of the duration and the reason of absence.

Exams and Assessments

Absences during exams require medical documentation or approval from the school administration. Otherwise, absences will be considered unexcused.

Leaving School Grounds

For security reasons, students may not leave campus during school hours unless signed out through the main office with written permission from a parent/guardian.

School Uniform

Students are expected to wear the AES school uniform with pride at all times. The P.E. uniform is required only on days when students have P.E. classes.

Appearance and Personal Items

Students must present themselves neatly. Hair should be clean and tied back if long. Only small stud earrings and simple watches are allowed. Jewelry, nail polish, makeup, and excessive accessories are not permitted.
