We're excited to welcome families to the AHIS community. Below you'll find about the admissions process for our 2027 opening.
Admissions decisions for each round are not made on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are reviewed holistically based on the submitted materials and interview. We strongly encourage families to attend an information session before applying.
2027 Admissions Overview: General Track

Typically age 3–5 as of August 31, 2027
Elementary：G1, G2
Typically age 6–7 as of August 31, 2027
That said, placement is never purely mechanical. Each child's developmental stage, individual character, and prior learning experience are considered holistically — so that every child is placed in the environment where they can truly flourish.
Approx. 100 students across K3–G2
Applications are divided into 3 rounds. You may apply to one round only.

Proof of identityAll applicants
Copy of your passport(s)
Report card or equivalentG2 applicants only
2 Reference lettersG1 & G2 applicants only (not required for ELC)
Please identify two adults outside the immediate family who know your child well — such as a teacher from daycare, kindergarten, school, or an extracurricular activity. Both referees may be from the same organisation.
After registering with our online admissions tool, you will receive a link to a structured online survey to forward to your two referees. Your child’s name is pre-filled in the survey. You are welcome to give your referees a heads-up so they know to look out for it.
The survey is available in both English and Japanese. English responses are preferred, but Japanese is also accepted.
Responses are submitted directly to AHIS — you will not be able to see what your referees write.
If we have not received a reference about two weeks before the application deadline, we will follow up with you directly.
Documentation for children requiring additional support
Please include any relevant documentation that will help us understand your child’s learning, developmental, behavioural, or other support needs and how we can best support them at school. This may include assessments, reports, individualised support plans, or recommendations from teachers, specialists, or other professionals.

2027 Admissions Overview: Scholarship Track
Not open to applicants applying through the general admissions track.
For an overview of the scholarship programme, please see our Tuition & Fees page.
ELC (Early Learning Centre)：K3, K4, K5
Elementary：G1, G2
Scholarship support continues for 3 years in the ELC and 5 years in G1–G5.
For example, a student admitted to G1 through the scholarship track will receive partial tuition support for 5 years through G5. A student entering at G2 will be covered for 4 years through G5.
Admission through the ELC scholarship track does not guarantee a scholarship for G1–G5. At the time of advancing to G1, families will need to re-apply for a scholarship.

Local families (G1-G2)
International families (ELC)

Same as the general track.
In addition to the same Admissions Policy that applies to the general track, the scholarship track is specifically intended for families for whom financial assistance is necessary to make attending AHIS possible. As such, financial need will be assessed as part of the selection process.
Same as the general track.
