Special note: If the student is currently studying at a school that uses the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), we can always accept the most recent results instead of another admissions test, but we will still need a writing sample.
Thank you for considering The American School Foundation of Guadalajara for your child's education. We are a community dedicated to the growth, learning, and development of each of our students with more than 115 years of experience in educational excellence.
ASFG welcomes all qualified applicants for available spaces from Nursery (Early Childhood) to 12th grade (High School). The school does not discriminate in offering access to its educational programs and activities on the basis of race, color, gender, nationality, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or family structure.
As ASFG receives many more applications from qualified students than we have spaces available, our admission process is highly selective. Our priority admission process for the 2025-2026 school year starts on October 15th, 2024, and ends on January 17th, 2025. After this date, we still accept applications, based on availability on spaces.
Please see the Admissions Calendar below for more specific information.
