How Stevenson handles Duolingo scores

Any student whose native language is not English must submit proof of English proficiency through one of the listed methods: TOEFL, IELTS, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, ACT English, Duolingo, Pearson Test of English or Cambridge English.

All international students pay for their own English proficiency test, and Stevenson does not provide test vouchers. The page gives no Duolingo subscore rule or validity period, and says proof is subject to review.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 overall; its FAQ adds no individual score below 6.0.

If your Duolingo score is below Stevenson's level

The page does not describe conditional admission or an English pathway. Applicants whose native language is English, or who completed a curriculum taught only in English, do not need to submit a test, though additional information may be requested; the FAQ mentions a counselor letter confirming English-medium teaching.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Stevenson programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
