Entry evaluation for students
YIS is a non-selective school. Exams or assessments are not conducted. However, a review of report cards, transcripts and other documents is conducted to understand the background and needs of the applicant. Should the parents or the school require further consultation about the student, such as regarding the student's level of English or any special needs support, a discussion of the topic in conjunction with the family will be conducted by the school.
