After careful consideration of an applicant’s age, school records, and academic history, students are placed with consideration given to the MIS curriculum, standards, and expectations, as well as performance on any test the Admissions office may wish to administer.
Applicants from countries whose school year calendar finishes during December-March (ie.

The Admissions Office wants to ensure that students are placed in the most appropriate learning environment.
