School Grade Placement

As an International School, Stamford American accepts students from all over the world, offering flexible grade placement options based on academic background instead of being completely age-dependent.

We are proud to be a non-selective School, providing a genuine opportunity to all students who seek to achieve more than they believe they can, with the right guidance and support. We, therefore, cater to students with a variety of academic backgrounds, which means it is necessary for our Admissions Team to assess each child’s application.

The below table provides the US-equivalent grade for which your child is age appropriate for Early Years, Elementary School, Middle School, and Secondary School at Stamford American. Take note however, the final grade offered will be dependent on a full review of all required and requested documents.

Please contact our Admissions Team should you require further information.
