Admissions

Admissions
1. Admission policy: Admission is open to students of all nationalities, religions, genders and cultures who can access and benefit from the international curriculum and programs offered. Admission is dependent on meeting all admissions procedures and eligibility criteria, on meeting financial obligations, and on the availability of places in the appropriate class. Entry is determined by performance in entrance examinations and an ethics screening, in addition to the parent–student interview outcome. The school may place a student at a different academic level than applied for, in consultation with the parent. 2. Eligibility requirements and feeder preferences: For Years 7 to 13, a student must meet the entry level criteria and age criteria. Age guidelines are: Year 7 11.5–12.5; Year 8 12.5–13.5; Year 9 13.5–14.5; Year 10 14.5–15.5; Year 11 15.5–17; Year 12 17–18; Year 13 18–19. For Year 12, applicants must have at least five credits in the IGCSE (or equivalent) with two in English and Mathematics, and the remaining credits in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Students from feeder campuses get preference during the admission process (Year 12 feeder from Year 11; Year 7 feeder from Year 6; feeder for primary from Key Stage 1 Pre-primary). 3. Admission period and application process: A parent may apply for admission anytime during the year; the period of admission tests determines the admission period. A prospective parent can collect an application form from the Secretary (admissions) by paying 2,000 Kenyan Shillings (non-refundable), and can also opt to submit a wait-list form if there is no vacancy. If seats are available, the candidate will be invited for an interview; after the interview, the school will inform the parent of the entrance examination date. If admission is granted, the fees must be paid within 5 days; transferring from another school requires total fees to be paid upfront; all fees paid at admission, except the caution deposit, are non-refundable or non-transferable. 4. Ranking and waitlist: The performance in the entrance examinations determines the rank of students. Students are placed on the waiting list based on their rank and the vacancies available, with higher-ranked students given first preference. A rank list is valid for two terms; if it becomes invalid, the student must re-take the entrance test. A waitlisted candidate who retakes does not need to fill out a new admission form, but must pay the test fee (equal to the cost of the admission form). 5. Behavioral and other policies; offer; appeals; and fees: Prior behavioral concerns may lead to contacting the previous school and/or a probationary period; withdrawal may be advised if concerns persist. Siblings may receive priority if merited, and staff children follow the same admissions process. Upon meeting criteria, an offer of admission is issued and remains valid for five days; fees must be paid within five working days. Appeals should be directed in writing to the Head teacher and copied to the School Board; responses are provided within two weeks. School fees are payable in advance each term; a 10% late payment penalty applies; tuition is non-refundable; a caution deposit refund depends on returning school property; if deadlines are not met, a place may be offered to the next candidate on the waitlist.

Waitlist
Wait-list: If there is no vacancy in the year group, a wait-list form may be submitted. Admissions are then determined by rank from entrance exam performance and vacancies; higher-ranked candidates have priority. A rank list is valid for two terms. If a rank list becomes invalid, the student must retake the entrance test. A waitlisted candidate who retakes does not need to complete a new admission form but must pay the retest fee, equal to the cost of the admission form.
