Admissions

1) Register for Admission: Submit your application by clicking the Apply button. After the application is received, the school contacts you to confirm availability, answer questions, and guide you through the enrollment process. This step begins the enrollment timeline. 2) Psychological Assessment: The introduction and conversation with the psychologist take place in a relaxed atmosphere. The discussion covers the child's interests and learning motivation and explores what might help them adapt to the new school. Tasks are used to assess higher cognitive functions (memory, attention, thinking, perception, imagination, and speech). Feedback is provided to parents about the child's strengths and areas for growth. 3) English Language & Math Test: An English proficiency test determines placement into appropriate groups for all students. The Math test is required for students entering Grade 2 and above. These assessments help tailor class placement and instructional planning. 4) Values Interview and Enrollment: We discuss our values and views on the educational process and the school as a whole. It is important to create a safe community of people whose views are aligned. Enrollment proceeds after alignment is confirmed. The language of instruction is English, and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is used to integrate language development with academic subjects. The ICA IPC program is used in Preschool and Primary, IMYC in Middle School, and the American EduWW program in High School.
