Admissions

Admissions
Submit an Application Form with Documents. Fill out SKIS’s application form for your child. Along with the form, you need to provide required documents. An application fee may also be payable at this stage.

Admission Assessment & Interview. Once the application is received, the SKIS admissions team will review it. They may then schedule an assessment or interview for your child. For younger kids (Kindergarten/Grade 1), this could be a casual observation or simple readiness test. For older students, SKIS often conducts placement tests in key subjects to gauge the student’s current level. After the assessment, the admissions committee will make a decision, usually within a couple of weeks.

Offer of Place and Acceptance. If your child is accepted, SKIS will send you an Offer Letter or acceptance email. This will include the grade level placement, the start date (and any orientation info), and an invoice for the initial fees. To confirm the place, you need to pay the required fees by the deadline. Once you send the proof of payment, the school will confirm your child’s enrollment.

Orientation and Start of School. Before the first day of classes, SKIS may host an orientation session for new students and their parents. You’ll receive information about school uniforms (which you can purchase on campus or from designated suppliers), textbooks, the school calendar, and your child’s class assignment.

Scholarships
SKIS does not offer any formal scholarships or financial aid programs at this time.

Waitlist
SKIS occasionally operates a waitlist system when certain grade levels are full. If your child’s application is accepted in principle but no seat is available immediately, the school will place you in a wait pool. The admissions team will inform you of your waitlist status in writing. Admission is usually offered in the order of completed applications or with priority considerations (e.g. Korean nationals might get first priority on the waitlist).

Being on the waitlist requires a bit of patience – the school will update you if movement is expected (for example, at semester breaks when families relocate). If a spot becomes free, the school contacts the next family in line to offer enrollment. It’s a good idea to stay in touch with the admissions office if you’re waitlisted, to reaffirm your continued interest.

In some cases, the school might invite waitlisted students to school events or Saturday programs in the meantime, to keep them engaged.
