International Liberty schools want to learn more about the child who is applying, and who better than the parents to tell us that. We want to know the kind of person you are – whether you’ll fit into our community or not.

That's why we made a questionnaire for the parents to help us know their children well.

According to the information stated above, the application is classified to:

• Exceeds the school’s expectations for the grade level to which the application is made

• Meets expectations

• Approaching expectations; only admitted in extenuating circumstances

• Does not meet school expectations for the grade level to which the application is made

The Admissions Committee at ILS carefully evaluates each candidate's application materials to determine their suitability for admission. Criteria used include motivation, academic performance, good conduct, commitment to the ILS vision, and parental commitment. Other factors include placement test results, impressions from interviews, special strengths and talents, past academic performance, and previous school records. Experience with the American program is an advantage but not a pre-requisite.

Priority is given to applicants with English as a first language, siblings already attending or applying to the school, number of applicants and available spaces, and children of ex-students.
