ADMISSION POLICY:

The International School of Como is an IB World School catering for students aged 2 to 18 designed to meet the needs of local and expatriate children. The school accepts children without discrimination of gender, race, religion or nationality.

The final decision on acceptance and placement is taken by the Principal based on the following:

  • Reports and records from previous schools
     
  • The potential of the applicant to benefit from the programmes and educational services available
     
  • The capacity of the school to meet the educational needs of the applicant
     
  • Students with diagnosed learning or behavioural issues will only be considered for admission following evaluations by the school’s support services and an agreement with the family regarding the provision of any individual support which needs to be funded by the family in accordance with the Inclusion Policy

Where we are in doubt about the suitability of our programmes for any applicant we occasionally admit students on a trial basis. In this case the targets and criteria for success will be clearly identified in writing before admission. The aim of the trial is to give a specific period to assess whether the student can be successful at ISComo, ensuring that the trial is also short enough for him/her to transfer elsewhere if we find that our system is not appropriate for the student concerned.

ACCEPTANCE

If places are available, a student may be admitted to the school at any time during the school year except as stated in Grade 12 and Grade 13.

The school reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant if the school cannot meet the applicant’s educational needs or to postpone admission if a class is full. In this case, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list.
