Step 1: Enrollment:
Upon enrolling in American International School, you will receive the Students' Initial Supply Packet. Your initial supply packet contains start-up supplies you will use throughout your program. It's important for the student to verify the content of the supply packet to be sure all of the items have been included:
• Welcome Letter: Contains a list of everything included in your packet
• Enrollment Agreement: Showing your acceptance to the School.
• Transcript Request Form.
• Preaddressed Return Envelope: To return all test and payment in.
• Copy of Tuition Schedule: To keep track of monthly payments.
• Student Number: You will notice your student number is printed on your Student ID Card and on mailing labels when you receive lesson shipments. This number is very important. Always write your student number on all correspondence, examination answer sheets, forms, and payments sent to the School. (This does not include students enrolled in the Online program) Those students enrolled in the Online program, will have to manually input their personal information into the grading system, in order to receive their School ID number. This will include the first three (3) letter of the student’s last name and four (4) digits of the student’s social security number. This program is linking directly with our school.
Step 2: Examinations and Grading:
Upon completion of a lesson, the Student will be required to complete a written exam. All exams will use the standard work sheet provided at the end of the requires test booklet.
• Students are required to take all of the unit tests before being issued a final grade. Each test is graded, the grade recorded, and the corrected test answer sheet is returned to the student with comments by the teacher. (Unless enrolled in the Online program)
Step 3: Submitting Exam Answer Sheets:
• The Student should mail each examination to the School as soon as completed. After successful completion of all exams, the student will then receive a grade, finally be promoted to the next grade level.
• Students are instructed to write their Student ID Number on the front of the envelope and on the answer sheet prior to submitting. This assists us in instantly determining the correct student to issue credit. Otherwise, the test may be returned ungraded. The student should allow adequate time for mail delivery.
Step 4: Lost Test:
Student should always make copies of their test answers before sending their tests to the School. This will save much time and effort should a test be lost in transit. The School cannot be responsible for tests lost in transit. It is the responsibility of the student to provide documentation for any missing tests or scores.
• Test Grading System
• Each exam is given personal review and consideration by the student's teacher who offers positive, constructive, individual, and specific remarks, and instruction. The School utilizes a numerical grading system. The minimum passing grade is 70%. A grade lower than the passing grade is designated as failed.
