FAQI InnovationAcademyA


How will this impact my chances at getting into a great

university?



Courses at The American International School in Japan


What do universities look for?



“When making curriculum choices, always seek out courses that will enrich and challenge you, rather than

thinking about how they will look to a college application reader—every college reads applications

differently, so it’s difficult to predict what will look ‘good’ to every college.”
