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.

The main entry levels for new students usually are:
- Nursery/Petite Section
- First Intermediate/Sixième/Grade 6
