At Satit International Bilingual School of Rangsit University Chiangmai (SIBS) student admissions policy is guided by:
- Will the student make a positive contribution to the school?
- Do the parents support the school’s vision, mission and concepts?
- Can the school provide the best opportunity for the child?
Students’ academic achievement and language proficiency are key criteria in the admissions process.
Applications for admission to SIBS are accepted at anytime during the academic year, which typically runs from August to July.
Admission is open to students of all nationalities and races. The school attempts to meet the needs of students with dietary, religious or other restrictions however, no guarantee is made by the school that all individual needs can be met.
Application for admission at all levels requires the completion of the enrolment form. Admission is subject to the payment of the appropriate enrolment fee. Students will be placed in their correct age group, apart from exceptional circumstances. The reasons for these exceptions would only be in the best interests of the education of the child as determined by the school and requires approval from the Headmaster or his/her designee.
When doubt exists as to the reason for leaving a previous school, the Headmaster or his/her designee will contact the previous school, prior to enrollment.
Final approval for admission lies with the Headmaster.
The cut-off date for entry to each of our grade levels is August 1st. For example, a child must be 3 by August 1st of the current year to enter Nursery, and 6 by 1st August of the current year to enter Year 2.
The level of English of all non-native speakers applying for Year 1 and up will be assessed before a place can be offered. The outcome of this assessment will determine whether or not a child will need English Language Support (ELS).
