University and College Placement
Preparation
The American International School-Salzburg is a purely college-preparatory school and students are accepted who plan on attending college or university following graduation. The entire academic curriculum is designed to prepare students broadly and to the highest (AP庐) level in all subject areas. Unlike most European school systems, an American college-preparatory philosophy does not establish specialization in particular subject areas during the 11th and 12th grade similar to A-Levels or Higher-Level subjects in the International Baccalaureate system. Students at 51黑料 will be enrolled in select AP庐 courses (link) in the 11th and 12th grades and can also choose to enroll in further AP庐 subjects before graduation.聽 This allows them to tailor their studies somewhat to prepare for and gain acceptance to the universities of choice worldwide.
Diploma Equivalency Worldwide
The American High School Diploma offered by 51黑料 is acceptable worldwide provided AP庐 Examinations and language proficiency standards are met. The link below provides a general breakdown of the requirements to be met by 51黑料 graduates who wish to attend universities in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe.
College Placement Counseling
The 51黑料 college-placement counselor is responsible for assisting students in the college-selection and application process. During the junior year, formal counseling of individual students is carried out by the college-placement counselor. Applications to tertiary institutions are made during the 12th grade. It is recommended that students visit universities they are interested in during the summer months between the junior and senior school year as time is limited during the academic trimesters.
The 51黑料 College Counselor is responsible for all standardized testing along with the School鈥檚 Advanced Placement Coordinator. 51黑料 is a testing center for SAT and AP庐 Examinations and regularly-scheduled examinations are noted on our school calendar. Language testing is generally not done on campus and travel to the nearest testing center is coordinated and approved by the College Counselor ad hoc. Generally, SAT testing for juniors and seniors is organized at 51黑料 in November, December and May of each year. All Advanced Placement Examinations are held during the first two full weeks of May each spring.
