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:
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 child has been assessed by a relevant professional as having additional educational needs and they would benefit from this arrangement and the school and the parents agree Children should reach the following ages during the academic year to be eligible for our classes:

We limit the number of pupils from individual nationalities to 30% of the total number of pupils in each class. The nationality of each child is based on the country of citizenship as shown on the child’s passport.
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. They will be offered an interview for the next available space as long as the total number of children sharing the same nationality in that class will not exceed 30%.
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.
6. 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 brief 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 and nationality (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 and their parents will be asked to attend a meeting with either, the prospective Key Stage Coordinator. Prospective pupils aged four or over and for whom English is a second language may also be asked to undergo a brief assessment to determine their level of English proficiency and EAL requirements.
· Following this meeting the Key Stage Coordinator will meet with the Principal.
· The Principal will make the final decision about whether iCAN is able to offer the prospective pupil a place. Before making a final decision the Principal may also arrange to meet with prospective pupils and their parents.
· Parents meet with the School Coordinator 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 enrolment 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
