Elementary Admissions
Like most international schools, students of varying ages enter NIS
at a variety of times during the academic school year. Applications are
accepted year-round for elementary students, and admission is based
primarily on English language proficiency, space availability,
suitability of program, and a demonstrated need for an education in
English. Admission to NIS is recommended only for students with
sufficient academic ability, interest, and motivation to benefit from
the program. NIS expects the applicant to be sufficiently mature for
his/her age and for continued enrollment at NIS, and satisfactory
progress needs to be demonstrated.
NIS follows a school-calendar year starting at the
end of August and finishing in mid-June, thus maintaining an age
cut-off date of Sept. 1 for grade placement. While recognizing that
school systems have different cut-off dates, NIS must consider a number
of factors for grade placement within our program. Each student’s case
must be considered on an individual basis.
For students whose native language is different
than English, NIS does offer ESOL support. However, offers an ESOL
support program for certain students whose English language proficiency
requires support. Ultimately, admission to NIS for non-native English
speakers is based on class availability, program, and a demonstrated
need for an education in English. If deemed necessary, the applicant
may be asked to take a test to assess English language proficiency
prior to an interview. In other cases, some students may be assessed
upon admission and soon after enrollment commences.
Tours of the school can be arranged through the
Development office. NIS does not however, allow one-day “trial”
enrollment or extended lengths of time spent visiting the
classroom.
