Once all the application paperwork has been received it will be reviewed by the admissions team. Parents will be informed of the School’s decision by the Admissions Director.

We consider the following elements when admitting students to the school:

• The potential of the applicant's ability to benefit from the academic programme.
• The capacity of the school to meet the educational needs of the applicant.
• The ability of the applicant's family to meet the obligations stipulated in the enrolment agreement.

The school may admit students at any time during the school year, provided they meet the admission requirements. Students will also be permitted to withdraw from school any time of the year.

Grade Placement
Students are generally placed in grades based on the age of the child. Please note that we also consider previous school transcripts, academic ability, social development, interviews and placement tests, where necessary to determine grade placement at ISU. This Grade Placement Guide may be helpful in understanding grade placement at ISU and equivalent national grade placement.

As a grade reaches it optimal capacity, a waiting pool will be established and the school's waitlist procedure will come into effect.
