Admissions
1. Complete the online application form or submit at our headquarters. The form allows us to learn about the needs and expectations of the parents and the candidate. It collects information about the child's background, interests, and potential fit with Edison International Schools. A timely submission helps us start the admissions process.
2. Admissions Meeting: After we receive your application, we invite both parents and the prospective student to an admissions meeting. This is a chance to explore Edison International Schools, meet our team, and learn more about our teaching approach and values. During the meeting we answer questions and provide a deeper understanding of how we can support your child's development. The meeting helps determine fit and next steps in the admissions timeline.
3. School Readiness Assessment: As part of the admissions process, a school readiness assessment is conducted for the child. The assessment involves a series of short tasks and discussions to understand the candidate's abilities, interests, and potential for growth. The goal is to ensure students are fully prepared for their educational journey at Edison International Schools. The results inform placement and next steps in the admissions timeline.
4. Admission Decision: After completing the meetings and the school readiness assessment, we contact you with the admission decision regarding your child's acceptance to Edison International Schools. We are committed to supporting students as they join our community and begin their educational journey. If accepted, enrollment steps and timelines will be communicated. You will receive next steps to finalize enrollment.
