Quick Answer for Busy Parents
ASIJ’s Class of 2026 posted a mean SAT of 1350, with a middle 50% range of 1280–1470 among 133 students tested. Math averaged 690 and Reading and Writing 670. Students in AP courses typically spend three to five hours per week on homework, and a dedicated college counseling team guides students through applications.
Reading ASIJ’s SAT Numbers
| Section | Middle 50% | Mean |
| Reading and Writing | 630–730 | 670 |
| Mathematics | 630–760 | 690 |
| Total | 1280–1470 | 1350 |
The middle 50% range means half of tested students scored between 1280 and 1470, a quarter scored above, and a quarter below. Math is the stronger section on average, and its top quartile reaches 760. For families, these numbers say less about whether a child will be admitted to ASIJ and more about the academic peer group they’ll join.
What the AP Workload Looks Like
According to ASIJ’s student newspaper, AP courses typically carry three to five hours of homework per week. Students taking several APs at once need strong time management, and families should plan course loads with that in mind.

ASIJ’s College Counseling Team
ASIJ’s college counseling team includes Amy Carey, Leo Holdstock, Ryan Naughton, Thinh Nguyen, and Angela Tang. Counselors are also part of the admissions picture: for Middle and High School applicants, ASIJ asks that one of the three recommendations come from a counselor or principal.
Planning From Middle School Onward
- Use Middle School to build strong math and writing foundations ahead of the AP pathway.
- Make thoughtful course choices in Grades 9 and 10 that keep options open.
- Explore Creativity, Innovation, and Design and the Study of Japan as distinctive parts of the transcript.
- Balance AP loads with athletics and activities across ASIJ’s 76 teams.
