Prospective families first express interest in ISD by completing one pre-enrolment form per child for the year of application.

• » Pre-enrol for 2025 - 2026

Upon receipt of a pre-enrolment form, a member of the admissions team will contact the family and request the child’s school complete an application reference form.

This helps the school to gain a more detailed picture of each child’s academic and social progress.

Upon receipt of the application reference form, the family are contacted by the admissions team to arrange a school tour. An informal student interview is conducted as part of the tour (the tour and interview might be conducted virtually if necessary).

Please note: A pilot school morning is required for any child with special needs, enrolling in Pre-Kindergarten and any child enrolling in formal schooling for the first time.

This is an exciting and useful experience to gain a sense of the child’s interest, comfort and needs in our school setting. During the pilot, we use an informal assessment checklist, based on age appropriate developmental milestones, to provide information and gauge the child’s readiness and suitability to join the school.

The family are contacted by the admissions team to inform them if they will be offered a place in the school. The applicant may or may not be offered a place at ISD.

An applicant will be offered a place at ISD if:

• There are spaces available in the corresponding class

• If the child can successfully access the curriculum

Upon acceptance families are issued an acceptance letter and are required to:

• Pay the registration deposit (non-refundable)

• Provide copies of the child’s birth certificate, passport and immunisation records (translated to English where necessary)

• Provide a copy of the child’s most recent school report (translated to English where necessary)

• Provide educational needs assessments (if applicable)
