Admissions to the International Stream (Secondary)

Enrolment is possible at any time during the school year provided space is available. In order to place students as accurately as possible entrance tests will be administered where necessary. Grade placement depends on an evaluation of the student's transcript of previous academic results, a reference from the student’s current school his/her ability to function in English, and the results of any entrance tests (if applicable). The applicant must provide two concurrent years of school records for the period immediately prior to the time of the application.

The enrolment procedure for parents/legal guardians of International Stream students is as follows:

  1. All applications are made online through “Open Apply”. A visit to the school can be arranged by setting an appointment with the Admissions Officer;
  2. Initial enrolment is by means of an interest only form on “Open Apply” and does not guarantee a place at ISHilversum;
  3. Parents/legal guardians need to upload a copy of transcripts and report cards from the previous two years, together with a valid copy of the applicant’s passport or ID card. Additionally, the current school of the student will be asked to complete a reference, which must be completed before placement can be confirmed;
  4. Where necessary, the school will arrange for the student to sit an entrance test and be interviewed;
  5. There is an initial, non-refundable administration fee, which must be paid before any admissions interview can take place;
  6. Upon acceptance of an offer, a deposit of €500 is charged to confirm enrolment and secure the student’s place at the school. This deposit is payable prior to the official start date.
  7. After acceptance, parents/legal guardians will receive an invoice for payment of tuition according to the current fee structure.

The International Stream does not work with waiting lists. If entry is denied for any reason, the application procedure is stopped. Families may re-apply at a later time, if the situation changes. No administration fee is charged for re-applicants.
