Admissions

Admissions
1. Enrollment requires submitting the application form and the following documents: a copy of the child's birth certificate; a copy of the parent's valid identification document; a copy of the most recent evaluation report from the child's previous school or kindergarten; a medical report; a vaccination record; Aviz de intrare în colectivitate (medical clearance for participation in group activities); and a recommendation letter from the child's previous school or kindergarten. 2. MISB has an induction procedure to help children adjust to school at their own pace. It is a gradual process that increases the time the child spends in school from one day to the next; families should maintain a consistent schedule and ensure on-time arrival to set a routine; child/parent communication is very important to support the transition. 3. English is the primary language used for teaching at MISB. Romanian language classes are offered for all levels and German is taught for KS2. For MiniPreschool and Preschool, teaching assistants speak Romanian, but it is used only for special circumstances; students are encouraged to speak English from Reception onwards. 4. To secure a place, pay the registration fee, reservation fee, and materials fee by April 1. If payments are not made by this deadline, you will be added to the waiting list. Reservation and materials fees are not deducted from tuition. Tuition and related fees vary by programme and include quarterly, bi-annual, and annual payment options; a sibling discount applies for the second and third child, and Ukraine-related discounts may apply.

Waitlist
If payments are not made by the April 1 deadline for registration, reservation, and materials fees, applicants are added to the waiting list.
