Applications

Applications for admission to Bonn International School are accepted at any time during the year, although it is not always possible to guarantee immediate entry. We do accept students for mid year enrolment providing space is available.

The following admission requirements and grade placements are adhered to. Exceptions are made infrequently and only upon careful evaluation of the application.

Early Learning 3 students must be 3 years of age by 1 September in the year they start and must be toilet trained

Early Learning 4 students must be 4 years of age by 1 September

Early Learning 5 students must be 5 years of age by 1 September

Grade 1 students must be 6 years of age by 1 September

Grade 2 through Grade 12 students are placed in a grade compatible with their age (using 1 September as a cut-off date guideline) and on evidence of successful completion of the preceding grade

Special Educational Needs

Parents of students with special educational needs should indicate the nature of the need on the application form and enclose all assessments, Individual Educational Programmes (IEPs) and other documentation that will enable the Principal to determine whether acceptance of the student is advisable.

Submission of an application does not mean that the student has been accepted.

Complete applications will be reviewed by the Principal. Following this, we will contact you to let you know if your child has been accepted or if their name has been placed on a waiting list. Please ensure that you submit all required documentation at the time of application.

Interviews and Visits

We interview all families as part of the enrolment process. We recognise the pressure on families in preparing their move to the greater Bonn/Cologne area and will schedule interviews at mutually convenient times.
The visit will provide an excellent overview of the school’s programmes and facilities and is an opportunity to have questions answered.

Selecting the right school for your child is important, so come and meet us and make an informed decision. We look forward to hearing from you.
