Entry assessments by school stage

Preschool applicants must be three, and Grade 1 applicants six, by 31 August. Preschool and PYP admission includes a family interview and trial day. MYP and Diploma applicants provide two years of school reports and take English and mathematics tests; Diploma admission also includes an interview. Offers depend on the assessment and available places. A student already taking the IB Diploma elsewhere can transfer only if IST offers the subjects they have been studying.

Learning support, English help and extra costs

IST checks reading and vocabulary to identify English-language and literacy needs. A special educational needs coordinator supports assessment, intervention and review. The support page lists an additional price of EUR 180 per month, but does not specify an academic year or a detailed service package. Ask which help your child would receive, how often, and whether that charge applies to their support plan.
