ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE    Once all the required documentation has been received, your child’s folder is sent to the admissions committee for a decision.  The decision may call for acceptance, denial, or placement on a wait list.
 
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE    If your child is accepted, you will receive a formal letter of acceptance along with a tuition statement. No student will be able to begin classes unless all tuition and fees are paid.
 
WAITING LIST   A candidate is placed on a wait list when he or she is eligible for admission, but there is currently no space in the grade for which he or she is applying.   Given the school’s admission priority system, a student’s position on the wait list may change if there are subsequent applications from families with higher priority. 

Once the second semester enrollment is finalized, students interested in applying for the following year must submit an updated application with current documentation.  It is important that if your child is wait listed, you explore other educational alternatives while awaiting a decision from GSIS.
 
ADMISSIONS DENIED    Each year some students are denied admission on the basis of their academic and/or behavioral record; when their English language proficiency does not meet the requirements of the grade to which they are applying; or when GSIS lacks spaces or a program to meet their individual needs.  Denied candidates may reapply once the reason for the denial has been addressed.

 

FIRST SEMESTER ADMISSION    If you are interested in having your child admitted for the first semester of an academic year (beginning in August), you are encouraged to complete the application procedure between February and April. Due to summer leave, no admission decisions are made in July.
