Grade and Age Placements

We use a North American Grade and/or age placement scale for class admission. In cases where students come from a school with a different grade level system, they will be placed according to ISK's grade system. The same is true for age placement.

*Pre-K Program at ISK

Children must be 3 years old by July 31 of the current school year to be eligible to join the Pre-K Program. Students joining the Pre-K program at 3 years old must be toilet trained and will be required to complete a two-year Pre-K Program. The admissions procedure for Pre-K will include a mandatory onsite visit before the child is accepted into the program.

There are four Pre-K intake dates within the school year that are in alignment with the quarters identified on the master calendar. Please reach out to the admissions team (admissions@isk.ac.ke) for further information.

Student's Pass Requirements

Kenya's Immigration Law requires all non-Kenyan students, from Pre-K to University, to have an annually renewable Student's Pass. Children with a Dependent's Pass through their parents are no longer exempt unless their parent(s) has Diplomatic status.
