APPLICATION GUIDELINES
At PSI, we have ongoing enrolment, which means that students may apply throughout the year. However, placement is subject to space availability and the criteria outlined in our enrolment process. Admission is open to students of any nationality who can benefit from an international, English-language education. Prospective applicants will be considered unless there is a reason to believe that admission is not in the best interest of the applicant or the school.
We value a partnership between parents and the school in helping the child in the process of learning and achieving their potential. Therefore, we encourage you to explore our school's Guiding Statements before applying.
