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. The admissions process is transparent and clearly explained to all parents at registration. The admission procedure is the same across programmes. After the parent/applicant understands the admissions procedure and shows interest, the child is given a date for the assessment followed by an interview. Assessments cover language acquisition, Language & Literature, and Mathematics and are aligned to the grade level to determine placement, and the school may require a day of attendance for further evaluation if needed.
2. Class placement is based on the assessment and interview results to place the child in an age-appropriate year group. The placement includes the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP). The aim is to ensure the child benefits from the curriculum.
3. Age on 1 August determines class and programme placement. Students are placed in age-appropriate year groups and tracks, including IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and IB Middle Years Programme (MYP). The chart lists placements from Play Group through Year 10 with corresponding programme designations. Final placement aligns with both age and assessed capabilities.
