Admissions Process

Interested students/parents are required to submit to the Admissions Office a completed MIS application packet (see application & key information section on this page), including all requisite forms and documentation listed on the Admission Information Sheet.

Following submission applicants are screened and evaluated for acceptance and for grade level placement with a view toward their successfully gaining promotion from grade to grade, eventually leading to the awarding of the International Baccalaureate Diploma and/or the MIS High School Diploma.

Based on grade level and language proficiency, testing and screening for placement purposes will take different forms, including but not limited to, consideration of all past school reports in English, a personal interview, school readiness testing, language proficiency testing and a review of previous special needs documentation. The granting or refusal of admission is the responsibility of the Head of School in collaboration with the Principal in charge of that specific grade level.

The admissions process involves these six steps:

	Submit a completed application form The first step in the admissions process is the submission of a completed application form to MIS by the parent(s)/guardian(s).
	Placement testing or Screening Placement testing and/or screening may be arranged depending on submitted documents, grade level and language proficiency.
	Application review Once all records have been collected, the application will be reviewed by the appropriate Principal. Admission may be granted, denied or the School may place the student on a waiting list. In all cases, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified by letter.
	School Contract If admission is granted, parents will be notified in an acceptance letter. The School Contract for the pertinent school year will be enclosed with this letter. This contract must be signed by all respective parent(s)/guardian(s) and returned to the School.
	Payment of Entrance and Registration Fees Payment of the initial Entrance and Registration Fees is due once the School Contract has been finalized and before entrance. Invoices will be addressed to the payor as identified in the School Contract and issued shortly thereafter.
	Other information Before the student begins at MIS, parents will receive further information such as the bus schedules, lunch application forms, etc. Depending on grade level and language proficiency additional meetings may also be arranged. All Senior School students will take a math placement tests.
