Grade Placement and Age Criteria
The following shows the correspondence of the students’ age group to the grades:
For example, a student should turn 9 years old before 1st September, in order to be
admitted into Grade Four. However, the School Administration will consider placement
for children who attain the appropriate age after 1st September and before. 1st January,
subject to a special assessment. The School Administration reserves the right to make the
fina l decision regarding this matter. All students enrolling in SIS in Grades 9, 10, 11 and
12 for this academic year will sit for the IGCSE examinations in Grade 10, the A/S level
in Grade 11 and the A2 Level in Grade 12.
Application and Waiting List
After completing the admission process, a student may be offered a place in the school for
immediate start or to star t in the new academic year. Should a grade level be full, the parent
is welcome to request the entry of the child’s name onto the school’s waiting list. The
registrar manages the waiting list and offers placements to students according to available grade
placements. Siblings are given preference provided all the admission criteria are met.
Transfer Students
Students may come from schools that apply different assessment, reporting and grade
placement systems than SIS. It is therefore imperative that all records from previous schools
be reviewed, along with the SIS entry assessments in order to place students in the appropriate
grades. The Academic and College Counselor, Administrative Manager and/or Executive Director
will make this assessment.
Payment of Fees
Tuition fees must be paid according to admission policy requirements before students start
school. Inquiries about this may be made to the reception staff, or through the school accountant.
Methods of payments (for new students) are as follows:
Bank Transfer
Cheque
