How to Apply

As part of the admissions process, ISZL requires specific documents to assist in the enrolment of students. Applications can be received, and applicants may be admitted, throughout the school year subject to the availability of places.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO APPLY
Please be aware that demand for places is often high and grade levels may be full. We recommend submitting application documents well in advance of the required entry date where possible.

The requirements vary according to the age of the application and the school division for which they are applying. There is no application fee at ISZL. A registration fee payment will be required in order to secure a student’s enrolment at ISZL, once an offer of a place has been made in writing.

Applications are made online and are a combination of online forms and documents to be uploaded. Below are the required documents:

PRIMARY SCHOOL | AGES 3 - 11

Online: Completed Application Form
Upload: Enrolment and Fees Payment Policy Form (the form is available online)
Upload: a copy of the personal information page of the applicant’s passport or birth certificate
Upload: a copy of the applicant’s last school report/transcript (where one is available)
Online: Completed Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire

MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL | AGES 11 - 18

Upload: a copy of the personal information page of the applicant’s passport or birth certificate
Upload: a copy of the applicant’s last two full school year reports/transcript

ADDITIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

All students wishing to enter from mid-year in Grade 7 and up to Grade 12, and who do not have English as a first language and/or do not have sufficient experience of academic English, may be required to take a language test to assess if they meet the school's English language requirements. This assessment is administered by a member of the ISZL teaching team, and is coordinated by the Admissions Department after a complete application is submitted.

Learn more about our English as an Additional Language programme.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING SUPPORT NEEDS

Online: one additional Completed Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire from the student’s learning support teacher

For any applicant, regardless of age, who has a recognised mild to moderate learning support need, ISZL requires that all relevant assessments and/or learning plans be uploaded at the time of application. These documents need to be in the English language.

ISZL's Review of Application

Once all application documents have been received, and any other relevant steps completed including an English language assessment if recommended, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
Admissions will aim to advise parents/guardians of the outcome of applications within 10 working days during term time.
Please be aware that if a student requires any Student Support Services, the review of application may take significantly longer.
Admission may be granted or declined. If granted and places are unavailable for the required start date, then the student may be placed on a waiting list.
In all cases, the parents/guardians will be notified in writing with the status of the application.

Please be aware that during school holidays, the review of applications may be delayed. For example, when applications are received shortly before or during the summer holidays, we may not be able to advise parents/guardians of the outcome of their child's application until just before the start of the new term in August. This is particularly relevant when a student may require the support of the school's Student Support Services including Learning Support or English as an Additional Language.

Before the student begins at ISZL, parents/guardians will receive passwords to the New Family Portal.
Here they will find further information, e.g. school bus service, hot lunch programme, supplies list and other information relevant to specific grades.
Via the New Family Portal, all students entering Grade 6 and above are required to complete relevant Language assessments, German, French and/or Spanish, prior to their start, assuming they have previous knowledge of the language.
All Riverside campus (High School) students are additionally required to complete a Maths Placement Assessment.
For an August start date, all assessments must be submitted by the end of May.
