The American School of Doha admits students who meet grade level expectations. Admission for students needing limited support will be determined on a case by case basis, and is dependent upon whether a particular student’s needs match the level of support available. ASD does not offer the full continum of special education programs as mandated by law for public schools in the United States. ASD has limited resources to support students who, due to severe disabilities (i.e. learning, physical, and/or behavioral), require major staffing, curricular, or assessment modifications.
Parents are required to submit their application, pay the application fee, and provide complete documentation for the Admission Committee to review, in order to determine appropriateness of admission based on the student’s ability to be successful in a normal classroom setting.
Documentation required includes; previous testing and/or evaluations (other than standardized national based testing)
- IEP (Individualized Education Program)
- 504 Plan (modifications and accommodations needed to support a student with special needs)
- Psycho-educational evaluation/Psychiatric evaluation
- Reading, writing and/or mathematical assessment(s)
- Speech and language evaluation
- Neurological testing
- Occupational Therapy Assessment]
