Well-Being, Learning, and Achievement

Welcome to International Admissions and Enrollment (IAE)

Our doors welcome students from all backgrounds where they can engage in learning and can academically succeed in our school community.

IAE DATA DASHBOARD

The International Admissions and Enrollment (IAE) office facilitates the enrollment and placement of international students, foreign students, exchange students and students with more complex residency circumstances. Our multilingual staff provide families with a welcoming and supportive introduction to Montgomery County Public Schools and prepare parents with the information and resources they need to be engaged and supported partners in their children's education.
