Admissions

The school is non-selective; admission is based on academic attainment rather than age. Age is a limiting factor, but a three-year age range can be in the same class. Generally, any student willing to learn is accepted. Placement Overview: Kindergarten (3–5 years) has no academic requirements; candidates are interviewed, must be toilet-trained, and able to speak and follow simple instructions. Other prospective students take diagnostic tests in core subjects to determine if they have attained the minimum standard; final placement decisions follow, with the school able to use various strategies to help bring a student to the required level. Special academic support is taken very seriously by the school. Enrollment Process: The enrollment process is personal and informative for all prospective families. There is no application deadline; admissions are accepted on a space-available basis throughout the school year. There is a joining fee to initiate the admissions process. Required documents include a completed application form, a copy of identity card or passport, two passport photographs, and the final school report from the previous school. Testing: Students applying to enter Grades 2 and above sit for diagnostic tests as part of the admissions process; results determine placement. Admission Decisions: Admissions decisions are made after careful evaluation of the candidates. Results of diagnostic testing and previous school records are considered on a case-by-case basis. Additional criteria for admission include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the ability of CADMUS® International School – Basra to accommodate the needs of the candidate. A final admission decision cannot be made without these documents. Once accepted and the required fees are paid, a place for the student is reserved.
