Attend an Open Day or schedule a campus visit. SIS regularly holds Open Days which provide a unique opportunity to gain insight into their programs, engage in interactive lessons, and take a campus tour. If Open Day dates do not align with your schedule, you can request an appointment to meet admissions or academic staff. This is a great way to experience the school's environment firsthand.
Complete and submit the application form. You will need to fill out the application form for your selected campus and submit it along with all required documents. It is important to ensure all information is complete and accurate to avoid delays. Required documents typically include certified true copies of past academic results, birth certificates, and passport-sized photographs.
Undergo a readiness assessment. Depending on the grade level, your child may be required to complete a readiness assessment, interview, and/or observation. These assessments help determine your child's eligibility for the applied grade and vary based on age and previous academic completion. The Admissions Office will schedule this if it applies to your child.
Receive confirmation of admission. If your child meets the admissions requirements and a place is available in the desired grade, the Admissions Office will send a written offer of a place of study. You must formally accept this offer and pay the necessary fees by the deadlines indicated in the offer letter to secure the place.
SISKL operates a waitlist system. If a place is not immediately available in the grade applied for, the Admissions Office will inform the parent or sponsor, and the student will be placed on a waitlist.
