UAS admissions procedures are selective, and only average and above average students with no apparent behavior or learning difficulty gain admission.

Prospective students at Kindergarten levels (Nursery - KG2) are interviewed. There are no academic requirements for acceptance into Nursery and KG1 (3 to 4) years old; they must be toilet-trained and able to speak and follow simple instructions.

All other prospective students take an assessment test in English and Mathematics. These standardized test scores and the students previous academic records are used to determine if the student has attained an average or above standard for each subject. It is important to ensure that our challenging educational program is able to serve the applicant's educational needs. Once the school has taken into consideration all the aspects of the applicant's admissions process, the admissions team then makes its final placement decisions.

In cases where extra academic support is needed, the school has various strategies at its disposal to help bring the students to the required academic level. For example, there is the option of attending summer school or perhaps extra after school classes in a certain subject. Special academic support is taken very seriously by the school.

All students admitted to UAS must live with their parent(s) or an authorized legal adult guardian.
