Admission Procedures
Legal Requirements
It is only lawful for the following categories of students to enter the school:
Class Placement
Students are placed in classes strictly according to their age on September 1st, not based on the results of academic testing. At ISK our Mission is to enable everyone to do their best, which means that we must challenge all learners appropriately. We do this by adapting the level of challenge in the classroom rather than by moving the learners to different age groups. We do this because we believe that the social groupings of students are of primary importance for long term success in school.

- Students are placed in classes strictly according to their age on September 1st. See the table to the right for a guide to the year groups by age.
- In exceptional circumstances, due to special learning support requirements, a student may be placed in a younger age group.
- Sometimes, due to the numbers of students in a particular year level, it may be necessary to place children in composite classes with two year levels working together. When placing children in classes, the school takes into account such factors as the number of boys and girls in a particular group and the distribution of language groups. Social groupings are also a factor when allocating existing students at the start of each academic year.
- The maximum class size for the 2018-19 academic year is 23.
- Parents cannot choose the teacher that they would like their child to have. Requests for particular class placements are not accepted and all decisions regarding class placement are taken by the school.
