GEMS Cambridge International Private School is an International School offering the National Curriculum for England. Admission into KG is based on student assessments to determine school readiness. It is important that all KG pupils must be fully toilet trained before starting school. Students applying from Grade 1 upwards are required to attend an age/year group appropriate entrance assessment in literacy and numeracy.
The School may undertake screening and assessments to determine the right placement of an applicant. The screening and assessment of a student will be determined by the admission committee, and will be necessary to complete the registration process for the school. Once this step has been completed, a student may be offered a seat, placed on the waitlist, or denied.
Educators recognise that there is a wide range of behaviour and performance within any grade or year. The admission process includes academic and developmental assessments to identify those students most likely to benefit from our program. We understand that children have different learning needs & challenges, and our teachers are qualified to help each child succeed through differentiation of instruction and assessment and attention to the learning styles of students.
