Applicant's profile
Applications are welcomed from all students who can benefit from a challenging, international, university preparatory, English language education and exhibit respectful, responsible behaviour.
ISG enrols children from age 3 to 18 (Pre-School through Grade 12). Enrolment and grade placement depend on the assessment of academic performance, and a screening for the English language.
Admission to ISG is based upon available space and upon the ability of the school to offer a program suitable for the applicants’ educational needs. The Language support and Special Needs departments are involved in the admissions process in order to guarantee to the child the best support and integration in class.

Grade comparison chart
The students’ placement is generally based on the year of birth and the academic background of the child. Factors such as native language development, social and emotional development, previous school progress reports, teacher observation, and parent comments will be used to determine the appropriate grade placement. The cut-off time is December 31st: in general all students born in the year of reference are placed in class together.
