Other Applicants

For all other applicants, UIS holds Open Application periods twice per year. 

• To be considered for July enrollment (the start of our school year), applications must be submitted between 1 March and 1 April. 

  To be considered for January enrollment (the mid-point of our school year) applications must be submitted between 1 September and 1 October. 

• No applications will be accepted outside of these Open Application periods, and applications will not be considered unless the packet is complete, the appropriate application fee has been paid, and all requested documentation has been submitted within the Application period. 

• If class space is available in the class an applicant qualifies for, he or she will be scheduled to sit for placement testing and English language testing.  The Enrolment committee will review results of these assessments before making enrolment decisions according to the Enrolment Policies. You will then be contacted with the Enrolment Committee’s decision.

• As an international school, we love our multicultural community! However, because our instruction and curriculum is in English, admission requires an appropriate proficiency in English speaking, reading and writing.

• Parents of enrolled students must be able to read, understand, and respond to communications in English.
