1. Submit Application and Documents
Parents must complete the student application and registration forms, submitting them along with the required documents, including identity cards, academic report cards, and passport-sized photos, before the academic year begins.
2. Placement Assessments
Once the application is received, students undertake placement testing, which includes assessments in English, Science, and Mathematics. Additionally, an online English Diagnostic Test is conducted to determine appropriate placement.
3. Offer and Registration
Successful candidates receive a “Letter of Offer.” Enrollment is confirmed once the registration fee, as well as any other required documents and applicable payments, have been paid.
4. Payment Guidance
Fees must be paid according to the school’s billing schedule, typically two months before the start of each semester. Applicants applying for scholarships or bursaries must settle at least one semester’s fee before submitting their application.
SJIS offers scholarships primarily aimed at academic high-achievers in the A-Level years. Eligibility criteria include being 20 years old or younger, having at least seven A’s in IGCSE/SPM, and holding full registration at the school.
Applicants must complete a scholarship application form and submit it to the school’s administration. Award decisions are made by the Scholarship Committee and are final.
In addition to academic scholarships, the school also provides financial aid based on merit and need. External funding sources, such as grants or sponsorships, may also be available, but details must be confirmed directly with the school’s administration.
