German Swiss International School

Candidates for Kindergarten and Y01 of the English International Stream (EIS) will be assessed individually, but within a group of up to eight children. The assessment schedule begins in January for entry in August of the same year. Applicants for Y02 to Y06 of the EIS will be invited to attend a test between February to May. The interview for candidates for Y02 onwards will consist of a written test for English and Mathematics and verbal English. Potential candidates of the English Secondary Department for the following school year will be invited for an entrance test and/or interview in January and February of the same year.

We do not have a deadline for application. Applications are accepted from birth, so parents are advised to submit application as early as possible as the date of the application can have an impact on the applicant’s position on the waitlist for a future assessment.

We do allow mid-year entry, provided that the applicant has been offered a shortlist place. A shortlist place refers to an applicant who has already passed all areas of our annual entrance assessments and where we do not have a place to offer immediately for the start of the academic year.
