Admissions Policy

Students enrolling in the Pre-Kindergarten-3, Pre-Kindergarten-4, or Kindergarten program shall be three, four or five years of age respectively on or before September 1 of the year of admission. Where previous school records indicate that a student has already attended an accredited Kindergarten, yet the student does not meet the age requirement of the International School Eastern Seaboard, the student will still be placed according to ISE admission standards. For clearly compelling reasons, exceptions may be made to this policy at the Kindergarten level.

Students enrolling in the First Grade shall be six years of age on or before September first of the year of admission. Students who have completed grade one in an American school system, but do not meet age requirements for ISE, may be placed in Grade One or Grade Two, dependent upon the recommendation of the School Counselor and Administration.

Subsequent to Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and First Grade, grade placement and age as of September 1, should normally be as follows:

Grade 2 7 Years
Grade 3 8 Years
Grade 4 9 Years
Grade 5 10 Years
Grade 6 11 Years
Grade 7 12 Years
Grade 8 13 Years
Grade 9 14 Years

ESL Program

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)

All ESL students must have demonstrated an ability to function at grade level in a language other than English.

All students having a parent who is not a native English speaker must be evaluated for ESL services before a recommendation for admission is made.

Beginning ESL students are not eligible for enrollment in the ISE High School Program. ESL students applying for High School admission must demonstrate a minimum standard of English language proficiency on the entrance examination as determined by the ESL staff and the school administration. Students at more advanced levels may be admitted at any time if they can be accommodated in an existing ESL program.

Acceptance of ESL students will be conditional for the first semester. At the end of one semester the ESL staff will determine whether or not a student has demonstrated a reasonable rate of language progress and has the motivation necessary to acquire English proficiency. After this determination is made, the student will:

1. Be accepted for clear enrollment, or

2. Continue to be enrolled on a conditional basis.

If a student's ESL progress is marginal over two semesters, it will be necessary to refer the student to the counselor for further evaluation, possibly resulting in a probationary enrollment status for the following semester. After the probationary period, a decision will be made by the administration, in collaboration with the teaching staff, concerning the student's continued enrollment in the school.

First Grade students may be placed in the ESL program in the first or second semester upon teacher recommendation, if services are available.

There is an additional fee for enrollment in the ESL program.
