ACS has a rolling admissions policy that starts as early as October 1 of the year prior of the requested year of admission. We recommend that you apply early so that we can reserve placement and organize the appropriate evaluations and interviews.

Students applying from abroad can be admitted during the school year; however, students applying from Bolivian schools may only be admitted at the beginning of the first or second semester of the school year and must comply with the attendance requirements of the Bolivian Ministry of Education.  The requirement of the Bolivian Ministry is that no student may miss more than 24 days in any single school year.

Applicants must turn three by June 30th to apply to KG3, 4 by  for KG4, 5 to apply to KG5, 6 to apply to First Grade and so on for the remaining grades.

For students applying to Early Childhood English is not a prerequisite.

English proficiency for students applying for grades 1-12 will be assessed at the time of their application. Students applying for these grades must have enough proficiency in English to be successful in the grade they are applying for as determined by the AEA (ACS Calvert) Admissions team.

Report cards or transcripts that come from another country should be legalized or apostilled in the country of origin and the originals provided to the Admissions office as part of the enrollment process.

If students are coming from a Bolivian school AEA (ACS Calvert) requires the original Ministry of Education Report Cards.

ACS does not have a uniform but students are expected to follow the AEA (ACS Calvert) dress code.

Students in sixth grade and above are expected to bring their own laptops. Students in Elementary are provided with an iPad which is used only during class time.

The sports program is strong in elementary and secondary. A variety of activities form the sport/athletic opportunities for students. ACS Calvert has a long history of hosting and participating in Friendship games with La Paz schools, and schools in Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. Boys and girls participate in competitive soccer, volleyball, basketball, track and field. The sports facilities are excellent, and include a gym, indoor heated pool, rock climbing wall, and a lighted soccer field.

Please visit our Athletics Site for more information.

The Fine Arts program offers our elementary and secondary students a variety of opportunities to develop new abilities and interests, as well as discover new talents. The students learn how to express their potential through dance, music, visual arts, and creative workshops. We believe it is important for our students to develop their minds and bodies, and to manage their energy in a positive and constructive manner.

Students can either bring a lunch from home or they can use the ACS Catering Service.
