Admissions FAQ

Enrollment will take into account the following criteria:

• The ability to contribute academically and to the wider life of the School
• Alignment with the School’s mission and vision
• The order of receipt of a completed application form and documents
• Sibling of an already enrolled student
• Previously enrolled students, provided their credit record and finance are in good standing
• Students currently enrolled in another Cognita School

All students will participate in a mandatory interview so that the School can determine the student’s needs for academic English support, wellbeing support, special education or other necessary support if applicable.

Students are required to take the following placement tests:

• The English proficiency test and standardized MAP test are requirements for a student potentially needing support in English as an Additional Language (EAL) or if a need for specialized support is identified in the application documentation. This test will be arranged with the EAL Coordinator or other qualified teachers.
• An additional Math placement test to be placed in a Math class appropriate to their level.

At ISHCMC – American Academy, the primary curriculum is delivered entirely in English with additional options for students to enroll in Vietnamese or Mandarin language classes which are taught by native specialists who have a Master’s Degree in language teaching.
