Admission

Application Checklist:

American School Online and Areteem programs are designed for gifted and advanced students who are ready to take on the challenge of accelerated and in-depth courses.

Students who are a good fit for American School Online’s High School Diploma Program often fit into one or more of the scenarios below:

  • Homeschooled students who need additional structure and guidance when starting high school
  • Student athletes or performers who need flexible schooling options to work around their schedules
  • International students who wish to experience an American high school education in preparation for college in the US
  • Gifted students who need advanced courses and the freedom to explore their passion

For students who meet one or more of the criteria, please use the checklist below to apply. Note: Previously enrolled students who have not had a lapse in enrollment over 12 months can automatically enroll into their next class via the Registration Portal.

For full time enrollment, admission is on a rolling basis. You may join the full time program at the beginning of any of the four seasonal terms. Please note the deadline for application is before the starting dates of the classes each seasonal term (September for Fall, November for Winter, February for Spring and June for Summer). Submit the following required documents to: info@areteem.org.
