ADMISSIONS

The American School of Puerto Vallarta was founded in 1986 with the purpose of providing an American education in Puerto Vallarta that would prepare students for University abroad. Today, ASPV is a multicultural learning community focused on educating the whole student in a small and private school environment that allows our talented educators to guide them as they become responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.

 

ASPV is a small independent private school offering a bilingual, bicultural education to students from early childhood to high school. Students benefit from a comprehensive dual curriculum taught by our highly qualified, talented, and caring educators who hail from The United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and various other countries. Our student body is made up of over 350 students from various countries.

THE PROCESS

It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade level with other students of the same chronological age. The following table provides ASPV guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level. This table applies only for students in Elementary School (from Kinder 1 to 6th grade). Students in Middle School and High School are not placed by chronological age but by last grade level and an admissions assessment.
