You can begin the admissions process by completing an online application. Applications to the LEAF Academy typically open in November and close in March. If you believe there are serious reasons that we should consider your application outside our admission period, send us an email with your CV and cover letter. Read more about our admissions process.

Based on your current circumstance, your country’s compulsory school requirements, and legal graduation requirements, we will work with each student to find the best place to begin your journey at LEAF Academy. If you are interested but unsure which year or program is the best fit for you, please apply and you can discuss your personal situation with the LEAF Academy Admission team.

Apply!  It never hurts to try.  The language of instruction at LEAF Academy is English, however, we do not expect everybody to speak or write perfect English in the beginning. If you do not feel confident providing all of the answers in English, feel free to write them in your mother tongue.

Most days, begin with breakfast and a small bit of travel to arrive at the academic building, where academic classes typically start at 8:45. They end at 15:30 and the afternoons are dedicated to various co-curricular activities including sports, clubs, community service, or social entrepreneurship projects. Some students also use this time to pursue personal interests that are particularly important to them (such as practicing a musical instrument or programming).  

After dinner at the residence hall, Study Hours – a time dedicated for students to study and prepare for their classes – take place. The day ends with free-time, socializing, and relaxing a bit before evening check-in at 22:00.

All students who successfully complete our 2 or 4-year program earn an American High School Diploma, which in combination with at least four passed AP exams (with appropriate scores) makes them admissible to nearly any university/college program around the world.

The fee covers tuition, accommodation, meals, transportation between dorms and school, books and other tuition related costs. 

LEAF Academy practices a need-blind admission which means that a candidate’s ability to pay the school fee plays no part in the admission decision; therefore, no applicant should be put off by the fees from applying to LEAF Academy.

We have an extensive scholarship program and economically disadvantaged families are eligible for scholarships up to 98% of the total fees. Once a student is accepted to LEAF Academy, s/he will be asked to provide further information about the family’s financial status in order to determine a volume of the scholarship. The final amount is individually negotiated with every family by the Admission Office. The majority of admitted students can expect to receive scholarships covering their full demonstrated financial need. Read more.

At LEAF Academy, we believe it is important for you to stay connected both to your family and community, and residential students have regular opportunities to return home. This consists of weekend visits, long weekends (4-5 days) or longer holidays (1 week+). In a regular month, residential students are required to spend at least 1 weekend at home (if possible), 1 weekend at LEAF Academy and the remaining 2 weekends they can choose to stay or go home.
