Thank you for considering IGBIS for your child’s education, we understand how important a decision this is for your family. Each year we are grateful for the IGBIS families that entrust the care of their children to us; it is a responsibility we take very seriously and that we enjoy very much!
The IGBIS school year consists of two semesters. The first semester commences in mid-August and the second semester at the end of January/beginning of February. It is recommended that students start their application process early to start school at the beginning of a semester for a smoother transition; however, students are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Interview & Assessment
After an initial review of the application, your child may be invited to undertake an admissions assessment and to have an interview with a member of the school team, usually one of the Division Principals. Parents are asked to accompany their child to the interview.
The School conducts assessments for students in Grade 3 and above at this stage to determine the abilities of the applicants to ensure that we are a fit for them, and them a fit for us.
If you are overseas, the interview can be conducted online, along with most assessments. In the event of an online assessment, an administrator in your child’s current school (arranged by the applying family) will be required to invigilate assessments from Grade 3 and above.
Students with identified English Language Support (ESOL) or Learning Support needs are referred to the Head of Student Services Support for further follow up as necessary.
