No, GIS does not conduct entrance tests. Instead, we use a diagnostic assessment to understand each student's academic level and learning needs, ensuring they are placed in the appropriate class.
The application process includes submitting an online application form, providing necessary documents (such as previous academic records and a birth certificate), attending an interview, and completing a diagnostic assessment. Detailed information is available on our Admissions Process page.
We recommend starting the application process as early as possible, as places in certain grades may be limited. Please refer to our Admissions Process page for specific deadlines.
