Admission's ProcessAdmissions Overview
To determine whether an applicant is ready to meet PACA’s academic standards and the demands of our American or American/Brazilian curriculum, the Admissions Office reviews the student’s academic record, language proficiency, social and emotional development, teacher recommendations, and the family’s commitment to the child’s education. Most families will participate in an interview to discuss curriculum, expectations, and school fit. Assessments and Interviews Applicants for 1st grade through High School are required to take an entrance assessment. Preschool and Kindergarten candidates are interviewed to verify their developmental stage and readiness for the educational program. Once we receive a student’s application and if space is available, the school will contact you by phone or email to schedule the assessment. (Please note that spaces are limited.) Required Application Documents Please submit the following documents with your application:
