1. To enroll at SALTO International School RISE or I-St@rt, complete the inquiry form or contact the school directly via email or phone. If the child is eligible and has reached the age of 3 years, a registration form can be filled out. Children can be admitted throughout the school year. We are currently full in I-St@rt: group 6 and 7; RISE: group 5, 7 and 8. 2. When a place is available, the family will be invited for an intake interview before admission is definite. The intake interview can take place at school or digitally. 3. In the intake meeting we discuss the child's educational needs to determine whether SALTO can provide the appropriate education. For higher groups, we also assess the child's knowledge of English and/or Dutch. 4. When all available places have been filled, the child's name is placed on a waiting list. You will be informed about the waiting list procedure and about possibilities at other SALTO schools. 5. A registration fee of €50 per family is charged.
