Admissions

Admissions
Consider a school visit. Families are encouraged to book a school tour or attend an Open Day to experience the campus environment firsthand. This provides an opportunity to see the facilities, observe classes, and meet key staff members.

Submit the application form and required documents. This step involves completing the official online application form and submitting all necessary supporting documents. These typically include copies of the student's birth certificate, passport, vaccination records, and academic reports from the past two years.

Complete the admissions assessment and interview. For students applying to Years 1-11, an entrance assessment is required to evaluate literacy and numeracy skills. Nursery, Preparation, and Foundation students are exempt from this assessment but require a School Readiness Checklist and an interview. These assessments help the school determine suitability and identify any potential learning support needs.

Receive the offer letter and confirm enrolment. If the application is successful, the school will issue an offer letter. To secure the child's place, parents must confirm acceptance and make the required payment of the admission fee and any other stipulated fees by the deadline indicated in the offer letter.

Scholarships
AISM does not publicly detail any specific scholarship programs for prospective students.

Waitlist
The school operates a waitlist system for year groups where places are not immediately available. If an applicant is successful but there are no current openings, their application will be placed on the waiting list. Applications on the waitlist are automatically transferred to subsequent terms or academic years if a place does not become available in the initially requested term, unless the application is withdrawn by the parents.
