How to Apply

STEP 1: COMPLETE THE ONLINE APPLICATION FORM

Applications can be submitted through our online platform. 

STEP 2: PAY THE APPLICATION FEE

The application fee covers the admissions process and can be paid either in person or via bank transfer. An applicant will not be considered for admission or scheduled for an assessment until the application fee has been paid. Please note that the application fee is non-refundable. 

STEP 3: SUBMIT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

To ensure a complete application, we require the following documents for all applicants:

• School reports for the current academic year and for the previous two years 
• Completed online recommendation forms
• Standardized test results, if available
• Passport ID pages for the student and parents 
• Birth certificate for student or copy of family book 
• Vaccination records since birth 
• Signed CIS Parent Agreement 
• Signed student health questionnaire

Additional documents by grade level:

• Nursery to Senior Kindergarten: One recommendation from the teacher, principal, or counselor is required.
• Grades 1–6: One recommendation from the homeroom teacher and one from the principal or academic counselor are required.
• Grades 7–9: Recommendations from the English teacher, the Math teacher, and the principal or academic counselor are required. 
• Grades 10–12: Report cards for the last three years, as well as recommendations from a current English teacher, current Math teacher, and a current teacher or administrator of choice, are required. 

Additional documents may be requested based on your child's profile. Following a review of these documents, CIS may request the applicant complete an interview and/or assessment with our team. Note that recommendations are submitted online. 

We understand that you may not be able to upload or submit all the necessary documents at once. You can save your progress in our online platform and return later to complete the application. Our Admissions Team will contact you after you submit your child's application form to confirm receipt and discuss any outstanding items. 

STEP 4: APPLICATION REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT

We rely on former reports and confidential recommendations in support of a student’s application for admission. Prospective students may be assessed for their academic readiness for our learning environment and curricula. Assessments can be conducted online or in person. Students applying to Senior Kindergarten through Grade 12 may need to take an online or in-person English-language proficiency assessment.
