Columbia International School admissions
process is designed to allow the applicant and the School to develop
clear appraisals of each other. Although students may enter at any
grade level, and from any trimester, most students enter from the
Summer trimester (April - July) as Japanese traditional school starts
in April and ends in March.
Applications are handled on a rolling admissions basis. An entrance
examination and on-campus interview (both for applicant and for
his/her parents) are part of the admissions process. Language used
in the interview can be either Japanese or English. Before taking
the examination, all the applicants must pay a non-refundable examination
fee by bank deposit. Applicants will be notified of the admission
status by mail.
Columbia International School admits students of any race, color,
and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs,
and activities generally accorded or made available to students
at the School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational
policies, admissions policies, scholarship, athletics, and other
school administrative programs, including its faculty and staff
recruitment. |
