It is the policy of the Board to accommodate students of many nationalities.  AISJ reserves the right to evaluate each applicant to determine acceptance and appropriate placement.  Previous school records will be reviewed and considered in determining placement.

Students will be administered standardized tests for admission and/or placement.  The school administration will be responsible for identifying the tests to be administered.

• Students scoring within one year of expected grade level or above on standardized measure of achievement will be considered for admission.

• With the exception of students applying for admission in grade 10 or higher, students who fail to demonstrate proficiency in areas that assess the language (e.g. reading, verbal comprehension, expression, etc.) will be considered for admission in an ESL program if they demonstrate competencies in the area of mathematics within expected grade level or higher. 

AISJ, typically, does not accept students who, because of educational, emotional, cognitive, or physical disabilities require special education classes or services to fully benefit from the regular classroom setting. 

Notwithstanding regulation 3, the Principal may elect to accept a student with special education needs conditionally when, in the Principal’s judgment, the following conditions are met:

The student is capable of fully benefiting from the instruction provided.

Parents are expected to provide the school with all necessary documents to ensure appropriate admission and placement decisions.  Parents who intentionally withhold such documents may have their child’s admission or placement re-evaluated.

Students who are granted admission to AISJ will be placed on a one month probationary period for evaluation of admission and placement decision. 

Decisions regarding student admission may be appealed to the ad hoc Admission Committee. 

Appeals must be received within 5 school days of the student being denied admission.

The committee shall be comprised of the school director, respective school principal, a Mathematics and English teacher from the respective school and two trustees as assigned by the President of the Board.

The committee shall convene and inform the parents, in writing, of their decision within 5 school days of the admission decision being appealed.

Unauthorized Access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems: viewing or altering computer records, modifying computer programs or systems, releasing or dispensing information gained via unauthorized access, or interfering with the use or availability of computer systems or information.

ACADEMIC HONESTY - Consequences
Given the fact that Academic honesty (as defined above and on page 19 of the AISJ Parent/Student Handbook) is considered a serious offense, the following revisions to our school policy in administering consequences for such actions have been put in place:

First Offense
Student shall receive a 0 grade for the work in question.  Parents shall be notified of the behavior.  Referral shall be sent to administration.
