Parents may also be interviewed, and additional documents, such as a Student Reference Form, are required for secondary applicants.

3. Admissions Decision
Families are informed of the result within 30 days of the assessment. If a place is available and the student meets requirements, an offer of admission is extended. If not, but the student is eligible, they may be placed in the Wait Pool.

4. Enrollment Confirmation

Scholarships

This effectively reduces the cost of the IB pathway and makes it financially aligned with the school’s other senior programmes.

Waitlist
CAIS operates a Wait Pool system. Qualified applicants who have passed assessments but for whom no immediate space is available are placed into the Wait Pool. This placement is valid for one academic year, and families are contacted if a suitable place becomes available. Students in the Wait Pool are not guaranteed admission, but being placed there indicates they are eligible should space open.
