Admissions

Admissions
1. Schedule a campus tour and initial conversation: Campus tours are available in English and Korean, and are a good first step to learn about ICSP and ask practical questions. The Admissions Officer (Lisa Chon) leads this process and is a primary point of contact for tours and admissions questions. Expect to meet members of the ICSP community and receive an overview of life at ICSP during your visit.

2. Start the online application: When you decide to enroll, begin with the online application via the Apply Now page. The school explicitly asks families to start an online application there, and if applying for multiple children, a separate application is required for each student. This step collects essential student and family information to move the process forward.

3. Prepare and submit required documents: ICSP considers several criteria in admissions, including a completed application, previous school records, and appropriate assessments. You will need to provide MAP Entrance Assessment results (Reading Comprehension and Mathematics) and, if applicable, WIDA assessment results, along with evidence of English language proficiency. Documentation related to any learning supports, as well as an admissions interview with the principal, are also required.

4. MAP Entrance Assessment and WIDA when applicable: MAP is used as part of the admissions assessment (an NWEA diagnostic focusing on grade-level reading and math). A WIDA assessment is used for students who are non-native English speakers or come from environments where English is not the primary language of instruction. These assessments help determine placement and language support needs.

5. English language proficiency evaluation and potential ELD support: ICSP evaluates English language proficiency as part of admissions. Elementary students may receive English Language Development (ELD) services during the day, with some support pushed into the classroom; high school admissions require solid English proficiency for academic success.

6. Learning support documentation and decisions: If a student needs learning support, ICSP reviews these requests on a case-by-case basis. Families must submit relevant documentation (diagnoses, evaluations, IEP/LP, medical reports, etc.). Any accommodations or issues must be disclosed in detail in the application, as undetected needs can affect admission or continuation of enrollment.

7. Admissions interview with the Principal: An admissions interview with the Principal is conducted as part of the evaluation. This interview, combined with the prior assessments and documentation, informs the final admissions decision and communicates expectations to families.

8. Grade placement and equivalency considerations: ICSP places students based on previous schooling, age, test results, and developmental readiness for younger students. September 1 is the grade placement cutoff, which affects where a child is placed (e.g., Kindergarten start age). The goal is to place the student with age-appropriate peers in the next logical curricular step.

9. Admission decision and capacity considerations: The admissions department makes decisions in the best interest of both the applicant and the school, taking into account the grade level and overall fit. Records, assessments, and interview outcomes are all weighed to determine whether the school can meet the student's needs. If capacity is reached for a given grade, that will influence the final decision.

10. Enrollment steps and initial fees after acceptance: If admitted, families proceed to enrollment and registration. A non-refundable application processing fee of KRW 300,000 applies, and new student registration is KRW 400,000 (paid by March 5); returning student registration can be KRW 100,000 if paid by March 5, otherwise KRW 400,000 after March 5. Additional mandatory items include a Technology Fee (KRW 600,000) and a Capital Development Fee (CDF) for new students (KRW 3,000,000; KRW 1,000,000 for returning students). Tuition is USD 4,410 or KRW 18,489,020 for K-5 and KRW 20,312,985 for grades 6-12, billed annually; meals and bus fees are extra and payable as specified. All payments are by wire transfer with provided bank details, and withdrawal timing affects refunds (14 days' notice is required; refunds are issued only when a student transfers out). ICSP also notes a New Student Enrollment Packet for 2025-26 and a policy that lunch fees are paid annually in advance.

Scholarships
ICSP offers a Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) based on need, available funds, and special circumstances. Families interested in TAP should contact the Business Office to discuss eligibility and available financial aid; TAP is designed to assist with tuition where needs arise and funds permit. The 2025-2026 detailed fee sheet also notes that Tuition Assistance is available based on need, available funds, and special circumstances (including considerations for additional children). This program is described as need-based and contingent on funding.

Waitlist
ICSP does not publish a formal waitlist policy on its admissions pages. The school confirms it is accepting applications for the 2025-2026 academic year and will accept transfers during the school year as long as the student has been in another school. Transfers are handled on a weekly intake basis for Elementary and Middle school, while High School transfer timing may require more consideration. Admissions decisions are made with capacity in mind and based on the criteria outlined in the Admissions Policy. There is no explicit waitlist mechanism described, and parents should plan around space availability and intake cycles.
