Students applying for admission are considered on an individual basis. Admission and grade level placement are finalized after evaluation of previous school records, completion of school admission examinations (MAP and Arabic exams for grades 3 through 10) and a personal interview with school administration. Students who transfer from another school must have an evaluation of their grades to determine which courses will transfer as credits to SJAS as well as a letter from their previous school addressing academic and behavioral concerns. All students admitted to SJAS must live with a parent or a legal guardian. If proper supervision is not established, a recommendation will be made to withdraw the student.
