Students are placed in a grade level after due consideration of their chronological age, previous school experience, achievement level, and emotional and physical maturity, with consideration given to UISG’s curriculum, standards, and expectations.

Students who have not completed a full academic year of a given grade level by the start of the school year will be enrolled in the same grade level. Regarding mid-year applications from other national school systems whose school calendars differ from our calendar, students may be required to complete the UISG school year at their current grade level.

Students enrolling in our nursery program can enrol in preschool. They must be 3 or 4 years old on or before September 1st of that school year. Students enrolling in our Kindergarten must be five years old on or before September 1st of that school year.

UISG recognizes that there may be differences in the opinion of parents or students regarding grade-level placement as a result of a transfer from a different educational system, a different program of studies, or a system based on a different calendar year. However, UISG reserves the right to make all final determinations regarding grade-level placement.
