Admissions Criteria
- Current students enrolled at WINS, as well as their siblings, are given priority and granted an anticipated enrollment period between December and January each year.
- New enrollments open in December for Nursery or for any spare places available in the other grades. Spare places are identified on the basis of the current enrollment numbers in the previous grade.
- New enrollments for all grades open in February on the basis of the places available after the anticipated enrollment period granted for re-enrollments.
- Being aware of the scarce alternatives non-Italian speakers have in terms of school offer when relocating to Torino, WINS grants priority to international students regardless of their level of English proficiency.
- Second priority is given to students having English as their first language or to bilingual applicants.
- Students with weak English who wish to enroll in the latter Primary Years classes, Middle Years or Diploma Years will be asked to supplement with additional English classes (EAL) until considered autonomous in meeting the demands of their grade at the discretion of the Academic Coordinator, the Section Coordinator and the class teachers.
- Students’ academic records are always considered as well as their proficiency in English.
