Enrollment

Enrollment at the International School of Tucson (IST) has three stages.

The first step

The parent(s) of the prospective student(s) meet(s) with the Head of School to review the School and its programs. One of the aims of this meeting is to establish whether the child(ren) would meet the academic requirements for the grade level to which s/he is applying and would be likely to succeed at that grade level. Should the family decide to proceed, they will be given a Registration pack containing a Family Application form, a Pre-enrollment Family Information form, a Student Application form and a Pre-enrollment Student Information form.

The second step

The family completes a Family Application form and a Pre-enrollment Family Information form, and one Student Application form and one Pre-enrollment Student Information form for each child, and submits these together with the Registration Fee(s). This can be done at any time and the child is then placed on a Waiting List until a place becomes available in the appropriate class. When a place does become available, it is offered to those on the Waiting List following the preferences below, and in the order of seniority (length of time on the Waiting List) within each preference :

The family will have a set time to respond after which the offer will lapse, however the family may continue to maintain its place on the Waiting List. A place cannot be offered to a child who is not on a Waiting List.

The third step

Following the family’s acceptance of a place, the enrollment procedure is completed by submitting such forms as vaccination records and the "Tuition Fee Agreement" form.
