Admissions

Applications for Current Academic Year 2021-22

Rolling Applications Period

We adopt a rolling admissions process for grades with vacancies, generally accepting rolling applications and conducting admissions assessments from May 2021 to January 2022. As a general practice, Pre-School does not enroll new students after the middle of February.

Applications for Next Academic Year: 2022-23 Regular Applications Period

2022-23 applications for both grades will open on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. The deadline for submitting applications is Thursday, September 30, 2021 for Year One, and Monday, December 20, 2021 for Year Two.

Rolling Applications Period

Depending on the grade, Pre-School may have available spaces after concluding the Regular Application Process for 2022-23. Hence, from Monday, May 2, 2022, Pre-School may accept and review applications for 2022-23 on a rolling basis i.e. Rolling Admissions.

The table below serves as a guide to our admissions process and The ISF Pre-School reserves the right to modify these dates and periods if necessary.
