Admission Requiremets

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The primary purpose of the American International School of Lagos is to serve the educational needs of the international community of Lagos.  We are a coeducational and non-sectarian institution that welcomes students of all nationalities, races, religions and cultures.  We recognize the value of the diversity of the school and the admission policies are designed to maintain an appropriate balance of diversity and preserve our fundamental identity as an American International school.

ADMISSIONS PRIORITY
Our admissions priorities are guided by our founding mission to serve the educational needs of children of Americans and other foreign nationals on temporary assignment in Lagos. Applicants are classified by the following Categories with priority for admission given in that order.

1. Dependents of US State Department and Consular employees, AISL overseas hire faculty and staff, and Special Assessment companies.
2. Dependents of Guaranteed Enrollment Plan companies
3. Dependents of US citizens who are on expatriate assignment in Nigeria
4. Dependents of non-US citizens who are on expatriate assignment in Nigeria

7. Dependents of non-US citizens who are permanent residents of Nigeria

In order to ensure the international character of our student body, to maintain an appropriate balance and preserve the fundamental identity of the school, we will limit the enrollment of any single nationality group to fewer than 30% (except US Citizens on temporary assignment in Lagos).
