Every Child has the right to an Education.

 

Admissions Requirements

Thank you for considering joining EBIS, part of the ISC. We look forward to welcoming you. EBIS enrolls students regardless of nationality, race or gender. We gather information from applicants and conduct an assessment test in English and Mathematics to determine the suitability of our educational programme to your child’s educational needs.

Applicants with special needs and behavioural problems are required to submit assessment reports to determine whether EBIS staff and resources can facilitate their learning needs.

 

Admissions Procedures

EBIS as a member of the ISC School Network is academically oriented & highly selective. The criterion for acceptance in any year level is academic accomplishment, rather than age, although age acts as a limiting aspect.

Thought is first given to students who already have siblings registered in our school. Additional consideration is given to students who apply from schools which offer similar academic programmes or follow a similar academic syllabus. More consideration is given to students with the most academic ability keeping in mind space availability and the date when the application was first processed. All other considerations may or may not play a major role in the admission process depending on the individual case.

The process is planned to be personal and informative for all prospective families. Below is a list of activities and the overall direction in which they occur:
