Admissions

Yes, CDNIS accepts applications for upcoming academic years and application deadlines vary by grade level. Key dates are published on the Key Dates section of the website and outlined in the Admissions Information Guide.

Handling time will be prioritised on the year of entry. Acknowledgement will be sent to parents by email.

A non-refundable, non-transferrable and non-deferrable application fee is required. Admissions timelines vary by grade and time of year. The application process is outlined in the Admissions Information Guide.

Applicants who pass the admissions assessment/interview may be placed in the waiting pool for the applied academic year if all places are full. Placement from the wait pool is not guaranteed. Applications and wait pool status do not carry over to subsequent school years; families must submit a new application for any future year if they wish to be considered.

Admissions decisions are based on a holistic review of each applicant, including academic records, age-appropriate assessments and/or interviews, and alignment with the school’s programmes and values. The application process is outlined in the Admissions Information Guide.

No, a debenture is not compulsory. However, debenture holders receive priority upon meeting the assessment selection criteria. Students admitted to CDNIS must either pay an annual capital levy or be covered by a debenture. Please refer to the Admissions Information Guide for more information.
