ADMISSION CRITERIA

ISPN accepts students from diverse school backgrounds, with a range of academic abilities. However, the school reserves the right to refuse admission to students whose educational or physical needs cannot be well served by the school, or to those with references indicating that their enrollment may be detrimental to the school.

APPLICATION

A completed ISPN application includes:

* An Application for Registration Form
* A Medical Information Form
* An Application for Acquisition of Confidential Information Form
* Copy of information page of your children’s passport (s)
* Evidence of recent medical check-up (last 6 months)
* Up to date vaccinations including either valid immunization against or recent negative test for TB. Please fill in medical form with additional information

We will only process your child(ren)’s application once all the relevant documents, including previous academic records, have been received by the enrollment office.

ENGLISH PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS

* Applicants must be able to speak and understand English.

Once accepted, parents might need to arrange for private tutoring to help their child(ren) to improve their English proficiency and to enable them to be successful in their coursework.

All incoming students are assessed in basic skills prior to enrollment. Non-native English speakers may be assessed for English proficiency.

SPECIAL NEEDS

Parents must inform the school at the time of application if their student has been receiving any special help in their previous school.

The resources of ISPN and Pointe-Noire are limited in their ability to accommodate students with special needs. If parents suspect their student may have difficulty, they should discuss this with the Principal or Director at the time of application.

If it is determined that a student cannot succeed in the school’s regular academic program, the student will not be permitted to re-enroll the following school year.

WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES

Parents who intend to withdraw their child(ren) either during, or at the end of the school year should obtain and complete the Withdrawal Form from the Enrollment Office before their departure. Transcripts and Leaving Certificates cannot be released or forwarded to new schools until the completed Withdrawal Form is given to the Enrollment Office. The Withdrawal Form ensures that all classroom textbooks, materials and library books have been returned in good condition.

REGISTRATION

Families should not assume they will be given a space until receipt of confirmation from the Enrollment Manager.
