Suria International Schools (Suria) operates on an open admissions system, which means that we accept new students throughout the year. All applications for admission are given equal status by the school and no child is excluded based on nationality, culture, religious beliefs, or academic ability. Suria shall consider for admission any student who is at least six years old and not older than eighteen years old (for Year 11) on January 1st of any academic year. We are open to all students whose educational needs can be met within the provision of the schools.<\/p>

Admission into a Suria and placement in classes, providing space is available, is based on successful completion of all application procedures, submission of required documentation and successful completion of an admissions test (appropriate to the year\/form level).<\/p>

Parents will need to attach the application fee upon filling the Application for Admission Form and to schedule a mutually consented assessment date and time.<\/p>

After assessment (with the approval of the School Principal), parents will be informed of the school\u2019s decision to offer a place at Suria; a letter of offer will be issued to parents.<\/p>

Having been given an offer of a place, the family should confirm acceptance and pay the Registration Fee, Security Deposit (interest free) and the Term Fees due. Upon receipt, the student\u2019s place will be secured.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We are non-selective and use the Cognitive Abilities Test as a means of assessing potential, to best decide whether our schools will be able to meet a student\u2019s educational needs.<\/p>

Physical or online tests are taken during the assessment period and to be considered for a place, prospective students will be expected to demonstrate they have at least average potential in these tests. Students will sit the test applicable to the year group appropriate for their age. Parents are not to view the materials before or after the test. All test papers are properties of the school and are confidential.<\/p>

Year 1 assess a student\u2019s ability to reason with and manipulate different types of material through a series of verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks. Students may be invited into the school for an additional interview and\/or asked to provide further evidence of their aptitude in areas such as English Language. A trial class of an hour or more will be extended to the test before a final decision is made.<\/p>
