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.
1. Interview and application. We invite you and your child to an interview with a member of the school management. An admission application is sent to you to fill out completely and return to the school. During the interview, questions are clarified, the educational concept is presented, a tour of the school grounds is offered, and language immersion in German and English is explained. If visiting is not possible, a video conference is available as an alternative.
2. Trial days. Your child is welcome to experience the SIS environment for one or two days, as a first introduction. The trial days help ensure your child feels comfortable, and allow observation of the child's reactions to the environment. The trial days provide a feel for daily routines and activities.
3. Enrollment agreement. After receipt and positive assessment of the application, a school contract is drawn up for signature and return. The enrolment fee is due; upon receipt, a place is reserved. The enrolment fee details are listed on the school's price list.
4. Start and timing. Admission is possible all year round. Most children are enrolled in the spring (February to April) so they can start in August or September of the same year. Enrolment age varies by location and is between three and five years; please enquire at the school of your choice. To support this, German and English courses are offered outside of class or as intensive courses during class time.
Waiting lists exist if a year group or class is full. To secure a place, inquire about capacity early, preferably in spring.
