Admissions Policy

In general:

SCS-INTA has many students for whom English is a second language. We therefore admit students whatever their level of fluency and as a principle we ‘mainstream’ all students as fast as possible. Our ability to give individualised learning programmes is limited by economic considerations.

Students with physical disabilities

Some but not all classes are located in rooms which are wheelchair accessible. Students with physical disabilities are welcomed, although our ability to meet all needs is restricted.

Students with special learning needs

We are open to all students, however we do need to be fully aware in advance of any special learning needs and you are obliged to disclose any past diagnoses or additional learning support that has been given. As we are a ‘fri grundskole’ It may not be possible for us to provide for your child as well as he/she may be provided for elsewhere.

In particular:

Key Stage 4, years 10,11

Students should:
1. Be aged 14–17
2. Be sufficiently motivated to follow an intense academic programme. Homework of up to 3 hours per weekday is a requirement for the full programme.
3. Have a good level of spoken and written English. Most lessons are conducted in English. For most students there will be an entry test to check students will manage the programme.

Key Stage 3,  Years 7, 8,9

Students should:
1. Be aged 11-14
2. Be able to read and write in their mother tongue at a level equivalent to their age group average.
3. Have some prior spoken and written English, as most lessons are conducted in English.
