General Schedule for Admissions
Applications are accepted all year round and there is no specific deadline for submitting the required materials. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis provided spaces are available. For students enrolling into MIS from other schools, the admission process will take place between October to January for April enrollment, and February to June for October enrollment. Dates will be announced separately. Admission decisions are usually made between February to early March for April enrollment, and July to August for September enrollment.For students who are applying from our school, test, interview and document review will take place in between February and March.
Language Requirement for Parents
English is the communication tool for everything in MIS. Parents who do not use English as their first language at home need to make an effort to understand the communication with teachers in English and support their children's education.
Recommendations for languages other than English
Letters of recommendation written in English are preferred, but they may be submitted in other languages.
Letters of Recommendation
The letter of recommendation should be written by a senior who knows the child well and who will report on the child's academic performance and behavioral assessment. For a prospective student, the most important person to recommend is the child's closest teacher. Please ask the teacher to fill in a letter of recommendation.
Screening/Test/Interview
Students who have applied for admission will be assessed by a strict admission panel based on school recommendations, academic reports and an English test. The admission decision may be preceded by one or more of the above.
