Middle and High School students test in math, reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing and French/Spanish. For Elementary School applications, the Admissions Team will review the application and revert on whether an assessment is required.

We then review the interview/testing results, as we always need to ensure that there is a good match between our learning environment and a child's needs. Usually within 5 working days after the assessments have been completed, we give you feedback on the testing and more often than not assurance that ISK is a good match for your child's learning.

Please note that we cannot accept a student for enrollment until we have conducted our own entrance assessments to make sure we are able to provide an appropriate program for his/her needs.

The entrance assessments for Elementary School students need to be conducted at ISK. However, we can generally conduct remote assessments for Middle and High School applicants.

Step 5 - Admissions Decision

Admission decisions will be conveyed to the parents by the relevant divisional offices (Elementary/Middle/High School). Admission decisions may be delayed in special circumstances, like if the file has to be reviewed by Student Support Services.

After your child has a confirmed acceptance, a non-refundable US $1,000 deposit is required to ensure your child’s place at ISK. This deposit is applied toward your child’s tuition.

The Admission Office conducts orientation programs for new families at the beginning of each new school year and at the beginning of the second semester. Students who are admitted when the school year has already started also receive customized orientation from their teachers.

Entry Requirements

Admission to ISK is non-discriminatory and open to all students without regard to race, sex, religion, physical ability, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin. We invite applications from students who can benefit from an international, university preparatory English language education.

We accept students who can be successful in the daily academic program, provided there is space available in the grade. In addition, we offer appropriate student-centered instruction for students with identified mild to moderate learning needs through our Student Support Services.

The (IB) International Baccalaureate Diploma program is a two-year program commencing in Grade 11. We can only accept IB Diploma students into Grade 12 provided they are coming from another IB school and can continue with their particular subject choices.

If a student's admission to ISK is not possible, however, it is most likely due to one or more of the following reasons:

• The class size has reached capacity.
• The student has severe learning needs which ISK cannot accommodate.
• The managed number of mild or moderate Learning Support students in the grade applied for is at its maximum.
• The student has a history of discipline, drug or alcohol problems.
• Other reasons which may be in the best interest of the school and the student as determined by the Principal or Director of ISK

Learning Support

ISK strives to meet the needs of all its students. ISK serves a managed number of students representing a range of learning differences from mild to moderate needs, as well as the highly capable.

Consideration for admission to Learning Support is given to students who are performing behind their peers. Moderate support is provided for a managed number of students who may be performing below grade level or whose social/emotional behaviors impact academic performance. Each applicant is considered on a case-by-case basis by the Head of Student Support Services in consultation with the Principal, Counselor, and Learning Support Teacher, taking into account the availability of places to meet the student’s level of need in the grade level to which they are applying.

We offer collaborative learning experiences that aim to develop successful habits of learning, and appropriate strategies for personal organization and study skills. The key component of all instructional delivery is that each student has the opportunity to perform to the best of their potential.
