ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE

  • The Local Coordinator meets with the high school principal or designated person in the school or school district to get to know each other and the Academic Year in America program. Local Coordinators work with high schools to confirm placements year round.
  • At the meeting the Local Coordinator completes a profile of the high school and discusses your high school's policies and enrollment procedures.This profile is sent to the selected international student and parents before departure.
  • The school is notified when a family under consideration has been selected for hosting. Specific student placement information is provided to the school at this time, and an enrollment form is completed.
  • High schools determine the appropriate grade level for each student, based on school policy and the student's academic history. (AYA can assist in evaluating records at the school's request.)

AYA values its partnerships with high schools. We understand the pressures and demands you face daily as a high school administrator, and our goal is to work with you to ensure a positive experience for all involved. See how high schools across the country rate AYA.
