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.
For entrance to Early Childhood (Preschool), we host two group information sessions each year, one in November and the second in January. This is the perfect opportunity to tour the Early Childhood area, visit classrooms and meet our teaching staff. We have no group sessions to provide information for entrance to other grade levels, so parents interested in learning more about our program should be in contact with the Admissions Office at admissions@asfg.edu.mx or scheduling an appointment here.
The deadline for priority applications to any given school year is in late January of the school year to which the student is applying. The Admissions Committee will make a recommendation about applications when all documentation has been received and evaluation has been completed.
Please see the Admissions Calendar below for more specific information.
Important Dates:

February 21 and 24, 2025 as space permits
When a student is waitlisted, we hope they can wait until June 2025 for their decision, although we can often place students well before then. As our annual re-enrollment process is done in March, some spaces become available after that time.
For late applications, the decisions are communicated 2 to 3 weeks after the evaluation is completed.
March 3 – March 14,
2025 for those who receive offers of spaces on February 21 and 24.
All students who received their decision after February 25, 2025 must complete payments within 2 weeks after the decision was made.
March 3- March 28, 2025 for all our ASFG re-enrolled students.
