Entering an International High School

If you attended high school outside of the U. S., please select the country where you attended school. You may enter the CEEB code if you know it, type in the name, or search alphabetically by country. You also can check the box to "Search all countries."

If, after you have searched, your high school is not listed, please select "My high school is not on the list below" to record the name and address of the school on your SRAR.

Dates of Attendance

Once you return to the Enter High Schools screen, please enter the Dates of Attendance for the school.

If your school follows the traditional U.S. academic year format (for example September through June), select the 'My school follows a traditional U.S. academic year' option. 

If your school year follows a calendar year schedule (for example January through December), select the 'My school follows a calendar year schedule' option.

Grade Scale

The grade drop-down has a wide range of grades to accommodate different systems that vary by school, state, etc., to make it as easy as possible for students to reflect what is on their grade report/unofficial transcript.

Colleges understand that some systems only go up to a certain level, e.g., "A", even though there are other values on the drop-down.

Select a Grade Scale from the following options:

Letter Grades:
Letter grades are typically presented as 'A+', 'A', 'A-', 'B+', 'B', 'B-', and so forth.')

Number Grades:
Number grades are typically based on a whole-number scale from 0 to 100. 

Letters and Numbers:
Choose this option if your school uses a combination of letters and numbers in its grading system.

Decimal Grades:

If your transcript contains numeric grades with decimals (e.g., 89.5), select this option.

Other:
Select this option if this school uses a non-standard or international grading system (i.e., Excellent, Satisfactory, etc.). Please note that the option to select "Other" is available only for an international high school.

Grade Source

The default Grade Source is the Transcript for U.S. applicants.

If you are applying from a school located outside of the United States, select the primary education system (e.g., IB, IGCSE, WAEC) in use at the school.  If your school uses a different education system for each year of study, you can make that designation for each academic year when you enter your coursework.

In addition, please complete the field that indicates, " I plan to graduate/have graduated from this school," if applicable.
