Entry evaluation for students
Interview and assessment
Brief description of entry evaluation required
All students must go through a level test and an individual interview in order to be accepted into HJIS. As a part of the application process all parents must sit the enrollment interview, which is to ensure the school's philosophy and programs match parent's educational beliefs and expectations.
Factors that contribute to acceptance depending on the grade are:
Preschool: Ability to separate from parents, social maturity, self-help skills, language ability, fine and gross motor skills and the current makeup of the class. Students must be able to toilet themselves independently.
Primary and Middle School: Age-appropriate social skills, language ability, academic ability and the current makeup of the class.

Depending on the grade level, at times you may need to be included in a wait list.
Deadline for registration (new academic year)
No deadline. We offer rolling admissions.
Students can join after academic year begins
Most children are admitted in September, but if vacancies exist the school will normally admit children throughout the course of the year.
