Additional Requirements for Non-native English Speaking Students

This may also apply to an English 1st Language student who has been in a non-English educational environment prior to joining us.

For students entering mid-year, who fit the above criteria and are applying to Grade 7, may also be required to complete an ISZL English Assessment.
