Admissionpolocy
 

The school year at iCAN begins in August and ends in June, but we accept enrollments throughout the year.

Admissions Criteria

We will review all registrations for enrollment according to our admissions criteria which include:

  1. Class size
  2. Age of the registering pupil
  3. Family attending iCAN
  4. Special requirements
  5. English Language Proficiency

1. Class Size

We limit our teacher to pupil ratio to 1:20. Should we receive an application for entry to a class which is already full, we will place the child's name on the waiting list for that class, providing the registration fee has been paid.

2. Age of the Registering Pupils

Please provide a copy of your child's birth certificate or passport with their registration form. We accept children into the class containing their age group but will occasionally make exceptions if; the school and the parents agree, the child has been assessed by a relevant professional as having additional educational needs and they would benefit from this arrangement. Children should reach the following ages during the academic year to be eligible for our classes:

3. Family attending iCAN

Priority is given to children who have brothers or sisters at iCAN. Should a class be full when a child with siblings at iCAN is registered, the child will be placed at the top of the waiting list for that class.

4. Special Requirements

We are a non-selective school and aim to accept all children regardless of their race, religion or gender. However, if we feel we are unable to cater for a child's special needs because of the school's physical limitations or other considerations such as staffing, we will discuss this with parents.

5. English Language Proficiency

The language of instruction at iCAN is English. All children registering who are over the age of four will be expected to undertake a small assessment to determine their level of English language proficiency. The school will make the final decision on whether a pupil is placed in the EAL Programme.

 

·     All parents of prospective pupils must first complete the Pupil Registration Form and return it to the school with the registration fee and proof of the child's date of birth (photocopy of passport/birth certificate). Interested parties can obtain a copy of the Pupil Registration Form by visiting the school and collecting an information pack, or they may write, phone or email the office to have a copy sent.

·    Completed Registration Forms should be returned to the office. The school will review completed registration forms according to the admissions criteria listed above.

·     Prospective pupils aged four or over and for whom English is a second language will be asked to undergo a small assessment to determine their level of English proficiency and EAL requirements.    

·    Parents meet with the Principal or Director to discuss the fees schedules, EAL arrangements and any additional costs.   

·    Prospective pupils for classes, which are already full, will be placed on the waiting list. Parents will be contacted as soon as a place becomes available.     

·    Parents of children registered in classes with places available should read the Fee Policy and Schedule carefully before filling in the Enrolment Form. Completed forms should be returned to the school office with the enrollment fee. (Please See School Fees )

·    The Principal will agree a date on which pupils may begin classes when their enrolment form and fees have been received, at which time the first installment of school fees should also be paid.    

·     We look forward to welcoming you and your child to iCAN. For more information on admissions or to arrange a tour, please visit the school office or contact the school at:
