Admissions
Évaluation d'entrée pour les élèves
Yes. CAT4 Assessments from Grades 3-12 plus a written English assessment for all IB Diploma candidates.
Brève description de l'évaluation d'entrée requise
CAT4 are an online assessment tool designed to provide a broader, more rounded view of each child, their potential and how they learn. Tasks involve thinking about shapes and patterns (Non-Verbal Reasoning), words (Verbal Reasoning), numbers (Quantitative Reasoning) and some questions are answered by mentally generating and transforming visual images (Spatial Ability). Each section of the assessment includes introductory information with practice examples, to familiarise students with the style and format of the questions. The duration of the assessment is approximately 1/2 hours.
The written English assessment is comprised of a reading comprehension and an essay designed to allow students to demonstrate their English level.
