1. Registration and documents: The registration form (Preschool form for Nursery and Reception; School form for Class 0 onwards) must be filled out and signed by both parents. Additionally, for children from Class 2 onwards, school reports for the previous two school years must be provided. 2. Interview and assessment: An admissions meeting is conducted with the candidate and their parents prior to admission. An informal interview is conducted with all Primary and Secondary applicants to assess their language skills. Secondary school applicants must pass entry tests in English Language and Mathematics. The language of instruction is English. 3. Admissions decision: A decision regarding admission is made after the meeting, interview, and analysis of the candidate's school reports and other documentation. Admission to Secondary school is confirmed only after successful completion of the entry tests. The Admissions Team reviews all materials to determine fit with BISG's programme. 4. Registration Fee & Invoice: The registration fee is 2000 zł. Instructions for paying the registration fee will be sent to the parents by the Accountant. Once the fee is paid, an invoice will be issued. 5. Placement on the List/Waiting List: After receiving the registration fee payment, the child will be placed on the list of candidates or the waiting list for the relevant class in the upcoming school year. The order of applications will be observed. Siblings of BISG students may be prioritized, provided all criteria are met. 6. Place Confirmation: If a place is being sought for the current school year, the first candidate's parents will be contacted to confirm acceptance as soon as a place becomes available in the relevant year group. For those registering for the next school year, the list of candidates will be verified around April, when we receive confirmation of continuation or resignation from the parents of our current students. This will help determine the number of vacancies for the next school year. 7. Signing the Contract: Once a place for a child is confirmed by the school and accepted by the parents, the school contract will be prepared and signed. In cases of admission for the next school year, the contract is typically signed by the end of June. 8. Refund of the Registration Fee: If a child does not secure a place at our school, or if the parents decide to withdraw from the waiting list prior to being offered a place, the registration fee will be refunded. 9. Admissions Documents to Download: School Registration Form and Preschool Registration Form. 10. Admissions Policy notes: BISG Primary School Admissions Policy outlines the criteria and required documents for classes 1–8 (registration form, birth certificate copy, last two years of school reports, 2000 zł registration fee) and the criteria including behaviour, English language proficiency, and interview; if applications exceed vacancies, the date of registration determines order, with priority for BISG siblings if criteria are met. BISG Secondary School Admissions Policy outlines entry requirements for external and internal candidates, including entrance exams in Mathematics and English or equivalent internal criteria, and an English-language interview. Waiting periods and documentation requirements are also described.

Waiting list overview: After the registration fee payment, the child is placed on the list of candidates or the waiting list for the relevant class in the upcoming school year. The order of applications is observed. For current-year admissions, the first candidate's parents will be contacted to confirm acceptance as soon as a place becomes available. For next-year admissions, the list of candidates is verified around April, when confirmation of continuation or resignation from current families determines the number of vacancies. If no place is offered, the registration fee is refunded.
