Admissions
Student Selection
Students are selected for admission to IC based on academic potential, school achievement, and readiness for the school’s rigorous and robust curriculum. At IC, we inspire our students to become ethical, responsible, critical thinking, and open-minded risk-takers. We instill in our students the necessary thinking, social, communication, self-management, and research skills. To be successful at IC, students must be willing to work hard and be committed to our program. In addition, students are expected to develop proficiency in English, French, and Arabic*. IC caters to students with mild to moderate learning support needs.
Vacancy Levels
The main entry levels for new students usually are:
- Nursery/Petite Section
- First Intermediate/Sixième/Grade 6
- Fifth Secondary/Seconde/Grade 10
Applicants to other grade levels will be considered if vacancies become available. Qualified candidates will be placed on a waiting list. Parents must renew their applications every year to be reconsidered for admission.
