The SAIS admissions policy reflects our all-inclusive philosophy and we are happy to consider applications from any child of school age. The procedure to be followed in considering an application depends very much on the stage the child has reached in their education but whatever the age of the child, before offering a place we need to know the child’s previous educational background and know how well he or she will be suited to the programme we offer at SAIS.

As is the practice in most schools which follow the British system, children at SAIS are placed in a year group according to their age.However, we appreciate that children join SAIS from different backgrounds and circumstances and, in exceptional cases a child will be placed in a different year group than their age warrants. All applicants are normally interviewed by the head teacher or deputy head prior to the offer of a place and their decision regarding placement of a child will be final.
