ADMISSION POLICY

At the GMIS we follow a rolling admissions policy where students are enrolled through the academic year, for all grades. The GMIS serves the educational needs of the national and International community in Indonesia. Admission is open to all students who, in the school’s opinion, will benefit from a challenging, international, English language education, which prepares them for higher education and a life of challenge, change, and purpose. The school accepts students without discrimination of gender, race, religion or nationality. School admits students whose academic, personal, social, and emotional needs can be met by the school’s programs and services, and who can be integrated into a mainstream classroom.

Decisions with respect to :

Initial grade placement
Promotion from one grade to another
continued attendance at the GMIS

are based on academic, personal, social, and emotional aspects of a student’s school record. In accordance with published regulations, the GMIS reserves the right to dismiss or ask that a student be withdrawn if:

The student’s best interests and needs cannot be met effectively by the school’s programs and services ;
The student’s behavior is deemed to jeopardize the welfare of the GMIS fraternity;
Educationally significant information is withheld from the school;
School fees are not paid in accordance with the GMIS Financial Regulation.

Presently we accept students in any grade, at any time during the year regardless of English Language proficiency. Our ESL provision is explained to parents and students at this time. Students with limited or no English are strongly encouraged to take English lessons before starting at the school.

During the admissions process, a language profile is begun for each student which is then further developed and used to determine ESL support.

Child must be three years old to qualify for admission to Pre-primary. Admission into subsequent grades is determined on the basis of the student’s performance. Students are required to take an entrance test in English and Math. This is not a formality but rather an important indicator of the grade level of the student. In addition to the admission form, our school also provides prospective families a checklist of necessary information needed at the time of admission.

Our school year is divided into two semesters. The first semester begins in mid-July. We close for term break for four weeks between December and January. The second semester runs from January to may last.
