While single semester applicants are welcome to apply, the Ambassador Admissions Committee gives admissions priority to international students applying to at least one full academic year or longer.
Upon acceptance to ACS, and after the receipt of the International Student Enrollment Contract and Administration Fee, the I‐20 will be issued to the student. This document is the basis for receiving an F‐1 visa status from the United States Department of Homeland Security. Within two weeks before starting school, the student is expected to secure medical insurance and make sure all immunizations are up to date to attend school.
Specific California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and Central Coast Section (CCS) laws apply to sports participation for international students. International student applicants should request athletic eligibility during the admissions process if school sports teams participation is desired.
ACS does not discriminate among its students on the basis of religious belief. It does not, in the operation of its school, favor or disfavor students on the basis of their religious beliefs such that a reasonable student would assume that the benefits of the school would be more likely conferred upon him or her if the student adopted certain religious beliefs or practices. It does not impose requirements that would tend to discourage prospective students of different religious persuasions from making application to the school or students of different religious persuasions from availing themselves of the school’s programs.
