The Class of 2025 at the American International School of Cape Town (AISCT)—a leading international high school in Cape Town—is celebrating remarkable success in university admissions. Our high school seniors have received hundreds of global offers and secured over $36 million USD in scholarships from top institutions around the world. Through a blend of traditional application routes and the innovative direct admissions model, our students are stepping confidently into their post-high school journeys.
Global Opportunities Await the AISCT Class of 2025
At AISCT, preparing students for life after graduation means more than academics. It means equipping them with the tools, support, and a global mindset to thrive anywhere in the world. As one of the top international schools in Cape Town, we are proud to support students through their unique journeys, from their first day of high school to graduation and beyond. As the Class of 2025 prepares to take their next steps, we are proud to share their achievements in university admissions. With hundreds of applications submitted to institutions around the world, our seniors are charting bold and ambitious paths to their futures.
Direct Admissions: Re-imagining the University Application Process
This year marks AISCT’s second successful year participating in direct admissions through Concourse Global Match, a growing trend revolutionizing how students connect with universities. Unlike traditional admissions, this model flips the process: instead of students applying to universities, universities apply to the students.
Here’s how it works: Students build a digital portfolio that includes their academic transcript, intended major, and extracurricular accomplishments. Universities worldwide review these profiles and extend offers to students they believe are the best fit for their programs.
This year, our students received:
- 689 Admission Offers through Concourse Global Match
- 533 Scholarship Offers Totaling +$36 Million USD
This innovative pathway offers a more personalized and equitable route to higher education, particularly valuable for students at international schools like AISCT seeking access to quality global institutions.
Traditional Applications: Proven Pathways to Global Success
In tandem with direct admissions, our students approached the traditional university application process with focus and determination. From early action and early decision to regular admissions rounds, AISCT seniors submitted applications to universities across nearly every continent. So far, many have earned places at top 100 global universities, as well as at highly competitive programs in fields such as engineering, business, the arts, international relations, and health sciences. Others have been accepted to specialized institutions known for their innovation, cutting-edge research, and strong emphasis on real-world learning.
Guided by Purpose, Driven by Passion
College counseling at AISCT is a thoughtful, student-centered process that begins early and grows with each student. Through one-on-one guidance, workshops, application boot camps, essay coaching, and more, our students are empowered to discover the right-fit universities where they can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
Whether they are bound for bustling urban campuses, small liberal arts colleges, or cutting-edge research universities, our graduates are ready. They carry with them not only strong academic records but also global awareness, adaptability, and the values that define AISCT.
