Admissions

Admissions
1. Making the first contact with the school via email or phone.
You receive all the required documents to complete and submit to progress to the first interview. The school is available by phone and email to answer any further questions at this point.

2. Initial interview.
After the first contact you are invited to meet in person or virtually to get to know each other. The focus is on personal exchange and questions regarding the total development of the child and the resources the International School Westpfalz can provide. If attending in person, this interview is followed by a tour around the school in the company of the School Principal.

3. Admissions — Early Years – Primary Years (ages 4-12).
Admissions to our pre-school or Primary Years is possible at any time depending on capacity. Prior to starting, the child must participate in a trial week to familiarize with the school and environment. Before the final stage, the school must receive all documents (e.g., last two report cards and confidential report).

4. Admissions — Secondary Years (ages 12-18).
Starting at secondary is possible at any time depending on the availability of places and the grade (Years 10 and 12 are exceptional due to the two-year programme). Prior to starting, all students must participate in a trial week. A final interview with the School Principal and head of secondary finalizes this process.

5. Final stage and start date.
This is the final stage where signing the Enrolment Contract informs you of the start date. Staff will welcome your child on arrival. The minimum contract period is 1 school year. The school year runs from August 1 to July 31; however, students can join at any stage. If the Enrolment Contract is signed after the start of the school year, the duration extends to the end of that school year.
