What is the deadline to apply as a full-time student?

What documents must be submitted in order to apply?
To apply, there are a few key documents required. You can find the complete list of required documents on the Admissions Apply page.
International & Homeschool Applicants
Do all application documents need to be in English?
Yes. All application documents must be submitted in English. If your documents are originally in another language, you will need to submit both the original documents and their English translations. The Admissions Form includes a designated section for uploading non-English documents alongside their translations, ensuring that both versions are reviewed during the application process. You will find the form at Admissions Apply.
Does IWA accept Homeschooled students?
Yes, IWA not only accepts homeschooled students but truly values the unique perspectives and strengths they bring. As a world academy, we recognise the positive benefits of diverse learning journeys and actively welcome students who have been homeschooled, believing their varied experiences enrich our community. There is a special section on the Admissions Apply page specifically for homeschool applicants, where you’ll find detailed instructions and requirements for submitting your application.
Does IWA accept international students?
Yes, international students are an essential part of IWA. As a world school, we embrace and celebrate all cultures, striving to create a diverse and inclusive community. Students can attend from any country, and while classes are scheduled according to U.S. Mountain Standard Time (GMT -7), we encourage applicants from across the globe to join our vibrant learning environment. There is a special section on the Admissions Apply page specifically for non-US applicants, where you’ll find detailed instructions and requirements for submitting your application.
Does IWA require an English proficiency standardized test?
No, IWA does not require a standardised English proficiency test for admission. However, every applicant participates in a relaxed interview conducted in English to ensure they can engage effectively in our academic environment. This process helps us assess each student’s communication skills and readiness for our curriculum.
GED Program
Do you offer a GED program?
Yes, we offer a GED program, and our specialised staff teach each subject, ensuring students not only gain the knowledge needed to acquire a GED certificate but also develop the foundational skills required for university entry. We recognise that, for many reasons—often beyond an individual’s control—not everyone is able to graduate from high school, yet they still aspire to earn a high school diploma and pursue higher education. That’s why we’re proud to provide a GED program focused not just on exam preparation, but on equipping learners for university and inspiring a genuine passion for learning. Our approach offers tailored support to help students achieve their academic goals and transition smoothly into higher education. You can find detailed information at Courses.
Can international students enter the GED program to acquire a US Highschool Diploma?
Yes, we welcome international students to our GED program, regardless of their country of origin. Our inclusive approach ensures that all learners, no matter where they’re from, have access to the support and resources they need to succeed. You can find detailed information at Courses.
Do you have to be fluent speaker in English to take the GED course?
No, the GED is a written test, so you need to be able to read and write in English, but you don’t need to be a fluent English speaker. Basic comprehension and writing skills are necessary to understand the exam questions and provide your responses, but full fluency is not required.
Is it possible to have some of the GED topics explained in Spanish?
Yes, we offer two distinct GED programs: one tailored for fluent English speakers and another designed specifically for native Spanish speakers. For those whose first language is Spanish, our course includes an additional English language support component. This means students will not only enhance their English skills, but also learn the GED content areas—science, maths, social studies, and language arts—in a supportive environment that bridges both languages. Our aim is to ensure all learners progress confidently, strengthening their English while mastering the core subjects needed for GED success.
