9th Grade Lottery Application and NEW ISA SHADOWING DATE!!
APPLY HERE!
Incoming 9th Grade Applicants
The application window for first-year students entering ISA in the fall of 2024 opens on October 1, 2023, and closes on February 5, 2024.
Applicants must fill out the 9th Grade Application, including answers to the three short answer questions* (found on the application):
- What are your major interests?
- Why are you interested in coming to The International School of the Americas?
- What gifts or talents do you bring to The International School of the Americas?
*For the application to be considered complete, these questions MUST be answered (one paragraph each). However, the content of applicants' answers does not figure into their chance for acceptance, which is determined by lottery. A student's responses to these questions are necessary because they assist their advisor in getting to know the student.
