Canggu Community School operates a widely inclusive non-discriminatory admission policy. The school’s philosophy is based on the belief that all students can succeed and that their motivation, self-discipline, and perseverance are integral to their success in all the school programmes.
Admissions are accepted and welcomed throughout the year, where places are available. CCS admits students whose academic, personal, social and emotional needs can be met by the School’s programmes and services, and who can be integrated into a mainstream classroom. The School regrets that it cannot presently accept students with severe physical or learning disabilities. Students with identified special educational needs will be considered on a case by case basis. Canggu Community School operates a widely inclusive non-discriminatory admissions policy.
CCS reserves the right to refuse admission to the school when:
CCS offers English as an Additional Language to support students with this need (EAL). Refer to the EAL section of the Parent/Student Handbook.
Class Placement
Admission to the School will be determined by the Admissions Officer and relevant Principal in consultation with the Learning Support Coordinator. The following criteria are used in student placement decisions: year group age appropriateness, previous school experiences/records, and future goals and aspirations. Ultimately, the year placement will be where the student’s learning and developmental needs will be best met. While parents have input into placement, final decisions on placement are made by the school.

Parents and guardians are invited to view the School website and/or arrange a site visit to ascertain if they wish to enroll their child. The CCS Admissions Procedure Checklist application form is available from the CCS website or the admissions office.
Where necessary, the School will arrange a trial visit. The School will attempt, wherever possible, to inform parents no more than seven (7) days later whether or not a place can be offered.
The Secondary Principal and IGCSE Coordinator will assist year 10 and 11 students with their course choices and placement. The Year 10 and 11 programme offers a wide range of subject choices which is a balance of required courses and options. This provides students with excellent preparation to transition into the IB Diploma programme. The Secondary Principal, IBDP Coordinator, and Counsellor will assist year 12 students with course selections. All students are encouraged to follow the full IB Diploma Programme for Year 12 and Year 13. The school strives to offer IB subjects based on student interest and career pathway needs.
Target Class Sizes
The School’s policy is that, wherever possible, we will limit class sizes to a maximum of twenty students in Early Years classes, twenty-two students in Key Stage 1, and twenty-four in Key Stage 2 classes and upwards.
Waiting List
In the event that a year group is already full when a registration is completed, the student will be placed on a waiting list. Placement on a waiting list cannot be made until the Application and Registration Fee is received and it does not guarantee a place for the starting date that is requested as it is still dependent upon a place being available.
Students are placed on the waiting list for each year according to the date the Application and Registration Fee is received. Students are given priority on the waiting list if they are:
Where a student fulfills more than one of the priority criteria stated above, their application will receive higher priority status.
If no place is available for the entry date for which a student applies, he/she will be automatically transferred to the next term’s waiting list. At the end of the school year, a student’s name on the waiting list will be transferred to the next year level.
Upon notification of a place is available, the student at the top of the waiting list will be offered that place. If the offer can not be accepted, it will be offered directly to the next person on the waiting list.
Enrollment
Enrollment occurs when a place is offered and the commencement date for the student is organized. This will be confirmed by the Admissions Officer, in writing. At this time, the Refundable Notice Deposit is due.
On payment of the Registration Fee and/or Tuition Fees, parents and guardians are deemed to have accepted in full the policies, terms and conditions of the School as contained in the Parent and Student Handbook or as otherwise notified to parents in writing.
Withdrawal Notice
The School’s ability to minimize fee increases for all parents is very much dependent on enrollment numbers in each year. To help the school to manage our enrollments efficiently, it is very important that parents give the School at least one term’s notice of withdrawal, in writing, before the start of a term. Failure to give one full term’s notice will result in the forfeiture of the Refundable Notice Deposit (RND).
The School reserves the right to withdraw a place when any or all of the following conditions apply:
Admissions to Year 10-13
Admission to all IGCSE and IB Diploma years is assessed on a case by case basis.
Students are considered based on their previous IGCSE or other academic experience. Those coming from schools where they have already begun their IGCSE studies will find themselves in a favourable position for admission.
All students will be assessed for admission based on previous school transcripts to decide on the compatibility with our offerings at CCS.
Students entering after semester 1 in Year 10 or during Year 11 will not automatically be entered for IGCSE examinations in year 11. This will be assessed at the time of exam entry based on student progress by this point. Those not completing IGCSE exams will instead take internal CCS Examinations in readiness for IB Diploma study. IGCSE exams are not a prerequisite for further study in IB.
IB Diploma (Year 12 and 13)
There are no pre-requisite requirements for entry into the IB Diploma programme. CCS students satisfactorily completing Year 11 are automatically progressed into the IB program and can make appropriate course selections. A majority of CCS students undertake the full IB Diploma Programme. Students are also able to take IBDP Courses in line with the CCS Graduation Requirements. Course selections are guided by the DP Coordinator in consultation with University Counsellor, teachers, the student, and parents.
Students new to CCS can be admitted at the beginning of Year 12 as either full IB Diploma or IB Courses students. Admissions decisions are made based on the above-mentioned factors and if the programme will be beneficial to the student.
Students entering the IB Diploma in Year 12 after semester one may need to restart the Diploma again the following year in order to complete all required components. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Students entering year 12 later in the year may also follow the IB Courses option rather than completing the full Diploma, allowing them to graduate within the two years. In such cases, students will receive CCS credit. All CCS graduation requirements must be met, as determined by the previous schooling, in order to receive a CCS Diploma.
Admission to year 13 is not possible unless a student is transferring from another IB Diploma programme school, as too many required components will have been missed. In such cases, admission to year 12 is recommended to commence the programme from the beginning.
Refer to the CCS IB Diploma Handbook for more information on offerings and options.
