The CIS admissions process starts with an online enquiry to create an admissions account. After creating the account, you complete the admissions forms and upload documents to your student's dashboard. Schedule your school visit Monday–Friday, 9 am to 3 pm; appointments last about 1.5 hours. Once you submit the application details, the admissions office provides information to schedule a family conversation and a campus tour; long‑distance families can use a virtual school tour. Step 3 is scheduling Shadow Days for Kindergarten or an Entrance Test for Grades 1–11; long‑distance families can have Entrance Tests (Grades 3–10) at the current school, and for Kindergarten long‑distance applicants a confirmation that the Kindergarten Admission Guidelines are met is required. The Application Fee is $200 per child. CIS notifies applicants of admission status about two weeks after the Observation day or Entrance Test. If admitted, you receive an acceptance letter and the Finance Department invoices a registration fee of $2000 to hold the seat. Submit remaining documents and pay the first‑term tuition before school starts.
