Country & territory guide

Compare schools across the United States.

A United States school shortlist needs more than an American curriculum label. Schools set their own diploma and transfer-credit requirements, while IB and recognised French programmes can form separate pathways. The Massachusetts, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Bethesda examples here help families distinguish entry grade, day or boarding arrangements, actual teaching campus and the award their child would work towards.

Planning a school search in the United States

Andover’s 2026–27 fee categories were read through the current school-owned search index after direct access failed. Its Fall 2027 application process, day/boarding application choice and dated Course of Study were directly read. No current fee amount or programme place is asserted.

Andover: school diploma requirements depend on entry grade

Phillips Academy’s 2026–27 Course of Study is dated as accurate on 26 August 2026. It requires satisfactory completion of a four-year secondary programme with the senior year at Andover, and describes requirements that vary for entrants to Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. A later entrant should obtain a credit and subject-placement plan, including languages and arts, rather than assume previous years automatically satisfy every requirement.

The Fall 2027 application page gives 1 February 2027 as the admission and financial-aid deadline and requests a complete high-school transcript for Grade 12 and postgraduate applicants. Postgraduate study is a separate application case. The same page describes choosing day or boarding when applying, as a one-time option without geographic restriction; confirm the practical residence plan directly.

Los Angeles and Atlanta: division and site change the comparison

Harvard-Westlake’s academic page covers Grades 7–12 and identifies middle school at North Faring Road in Los Angeles and upper school at Coldwater Canyon in Studio City. Compare the campus for the entry grade and the later transition. Its subject departments and school requirements, rather than the American label alone, provide the starting point for a transfer timetable.

Atlanta International School publishes PYP, MYP, DP and CP, alongside other school diploma and flexible-study options. Its website identifies Buckhead and Sandy Springs sites; confirm the intended programme and site without treating them as interchangeable catalogue records. AEFE’s French homologation record is specifically at Buckhead’s North Fulton Drive address and covers Petite section–CM2. It does not establish a separate homologated French secondary route throughout the operator’s provision.

Bethesda’s French route and a comparable cost request

Rochambeau’s AEFE record uses a Washington DC regional label but gives a Bethesda, Maryland address. It lists homologated French grades from Petite section through Terminale, while Toute petite section is separately not homologated in that table. The French Ministry distinguishes grade-specific curriculum recognition from governance; neither the regional label nor accreditation establishes the child’s individual language placement.

Request a written comparison for the actual year, campus and residential category. Andover’s official indexed tuition publication separates boarding and day for 2026–27; its direct fee page could not be read in this check, so no price is reproduced. Ask about tuition, accommodation where relevant, transport, insurance, examination costs and support charges. Use the programme’s own admissions calendar and graduation plan alongside the quote rather than assume one national independent-school timetable.

Parent questions about United States schools

Does Andover’s postgraduate option belong to the normal Grade 9–12 route?

It is a separate application case. The Fall 2027 application page requests a complete high-school transcript for Grade 12 and postgraduate candidates, while the 2026–27 Course of Study describes entry-grade-specific diploma requirements. Ask admissions which entry category applies and which credits and residential arrangements would be required.

Does Atlanta International School’s French homologation establish a French secondary programme?

AEFE’s record reviewed on 15 October 2026 lists Petite section–CM2 at the Buckhead address. AIS separately publishes IB and other school pathways. For a French senior qualification, Rochambeau’s Bethesda record has a different homologated span through Terminale. Confirm the actual school, campus and grade rather than transfer recognition across programmes.
