Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Placement and age-eligibility: Students seeking registration for Kindergarten through Secondary are placed according to their age on or before 30 September. This policy ensures students are grouped into age-appropriate year levels and aligns with the school's intake scheduling. Families should plan ahead to meet the September 30 cutoff to avoid placement delays. The Admissions team communicates the initial placement decision and outlines the next steps after this step.
2. Application initiation: Download the official application form, complete it, and include a one-time, non-refundable application fee. If you need details on school fees, payment procedures, and available options, contact the school office.
3. Supporting documents: Prepare and submit the required documents along with the application: previous scholastic records from the last school attended, a recommendation letter from the last school, evidence of date of birth or ID card, passport copy if applicable, two passport-sized photographs, and the child's health record. These documents help the Admissions Committee assess fit and prior academic history. Additional information may be requested if needed.
4. Post-application meeting and assessment: After the application is submitted, a parent meeting is scheduled and the child undergoes an admissions assessment. The meeting and assessment provide the school with a fuller view of the child's needs and potential. Results from these interactions contribute to the final admission decision.
5. Admission decision: Based on the applicant's prior scholastic records and performance on the MISA admissions assessment, the Admissions Committee will determine whether to offer a place. Applicants are notified of the outcome via email or message. The decision may result in an offer, an offer with conditions, or a non-eligibility outcome.
6. Offer, registration, and payment: If a place is offered, you must sign the Payment and Refund policy and pay the registration fee by the invoice date to confirm your child's place. This step completes the formal enrollment for the school year. Further financial details and payment options are provided by the admissions office.
7. Further information and inquiries: For more information, email the admissions office or call the admissions numbers provided. This channel can be used to clarify fee details, placement-test scheduling, or eligibility questions.
A waitlist or pool system is not described in MISA's admissions documentation. Applicants proceed through a defined admission sequence (application, meeting, assessment, and decision) with outcomes communicated by email or message. There is no published waitlist policy on the site.
No scholarships are described or advertised in the available admissions or program materials. The site discusses a capped intake for international students and outlines the standard admissions process rather than any financial aid provisions. Families should inquire directly with the admissions office for any potential financial aid opportunities.
