Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Arrange a Visit or Virtual Meeting
JIS encourages families to tour the school in person. Otherwise, virtual meetings can be arranged with admissions staff to provide an overview of the curriculum, facilities, and school life.
Submit an Online Application
Applications are submitted through an online form available on the school’s website. You’ll be asked to provide previous school reports, a copy of the student’s passport, and a recent passport-size photo. Parents may also need to submit vaccination records and other documents depending on the student’s age.
Assessment Process
Students applying for entry from Year 2 and above are usually asked to complete an age-appropriate academic assessment. In some cases, an interview with a senior staff member is also required, either in person or online. The school uses these assessments to ensure it can support the students’ learning appropriately.
Placement Offer and Acceptance
If the application and assessment are successful, the school will issue a formal offer letter. To secure the place, parents must sign the acceptance forms and pay the required deposit by the deadline specified. The admissions team will then guide the family through the next steps, including enrolment and start-of-term logistics.
JIS operates a waitlist system for year groups that are at capacity. Places are offered as they become available and are not guaranteed unless formally accepted.
