Admissions
Admissions
1. Enrollment is open to all students likely to benefit from GIS Monza's educational programme and to all families who share and commit to GIS's vision and values. The Admissions Policy guides the admissions process and will be discussed with new families during Admissions Meetings. 2. Following the Admissions Policy, students can be enrolled into GIS Monza throughout the year. Class placements are based on age. 3. If a class has a waiting list, priority is given to siblings of current GIS students, applicants from the international community, and applicants who have confirmed that they will accept a place, in the order of their initial expression of interest. 4. Competence in English is not a prerequisite for admission; international students transferring to Italy may be admitted regardless of English ability and EAL provision will be made available by the school.

Exceptions to open admission may occur for students with identified learning or behavioral issues where additional support is necessary on an individual basis; admission may be denied at the school's discretion if the student's needs cannot be met, such as if the student has been expelled, the family does not have a visa to live in Italy, the family does not align with the GIS philosophy, or the student's needs fall outside GIS Monza's available supports. 6.
