At PAS Admissions, we are excited to meet with parents who want to make a difference in their children’s education. We’d love to tell you more about our education philosophy and invite you to visit our campus. PAS has produced many outstanding alums in the fields of engineering, banking, biomed, biotech, design, architecture, music, political science, culinary arts, marketing communications, consulting, business, hospitality and beyond. We are always thrilled to host their return visit to speak with and inspire the aspiring college-bound juniors and seniors.
At PAS, admissions decisions are based on a review of each candidate’s demonstrated academic achievement, developmental, social, and behavioral background as well as English language proficiency. Alignment in values and expectations between family and school is also considered.
A completed application does not equate automatic placement. Priority consideration is given to U.S. or second passport holders and those with stronger academic English proficiency. PAS also base its admissions decisions on the balance of English language learners to that of native English speakers to maintain its core quality as an all-English speaking international school.
Interviews are an integral part of the application review process. That said, an interview is not a guarantee of admission.
In addition, students applying to Pacific American School must meet the following eligibility criteria.
While PAS prefers students with some to adequate understanding of English, our admissions committee will make that determination upon meeting with the candidate. Non-native English-speaking candidates may be given an additional English test to determine if ESL support is required. If admitted and such support is found to be necessary, additional fees will apply.
