Assessments and Interviews during the application process:
GTAIS's Admissions Office thoroughly reviews all academic records and communicates with the previous school personnel as needed. In many cases, additional information is not required. There are times, however, when the Admissions Team does require additional assessments, information, and interviews with the applicant and parents. If additional assessments are required, parents will be expected to facilitate such assessments at their own expense.
The following assessments may be conducted upon acceptance, and in that case would be required before a student matriculates:
EAL Assessment: WIDA
Students applying to Grades 1-8 for whom English is not the first language, who have no previous experience with English, will be given an English language assessment. The assessment includes an interview and measures an applicant’s communication skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
