When should I submit an application for admission and how long does the process take?

Medi's international uses a rolling admission process. Parents may submit an application in march-April for the following year beginning in August. In early April we will begin our re-registration process for currently enrolled kids. Once we complete this process, we will have an idea of space availability for the following year. Applications for the following year will be processed from March through May. Parents will be notified of their admission status via email.

We accept applications for the current year throughout the year. Once the application is complete, it takes 5 to 7 days to review the application. An applicant may be granted admission, scheduled for assessments and or an interview, placed on the wait list or not accepted. After an applicant has sat for an interview or taken the assessment, it generally takes an additional 2 work days for an admissions decision. We encourage all parents to submit all required documents as early as possible.

Do I need to submit all admission documents together?

An application is considered incomplete until all required documents including the application fee are received. We encourage parents to submit all documents at one time.

Does my child need to take an entrance exam or sit for an interview?

All PreK-1(Beginners), PreK-2(Intermediates) and K (Advanced) kids participate in a trialday while their parents attend an interview.

Children applying for PreK-2 mid-year and K that are transferring from a school where English is not the primary language of instruction are required to complete assessments in English as well as attend an interview.

Does Medi's international accept applications during the summer?

Medi's international accepts applications throughout the year and during the summer. Applications received close to September may take longer to process. We encourage all parents to submit a complete application as early as possible.

What is your priority system for admissions?

Admission decisions are based on a careful examination of each kids’s ability to achieve success in an atmosphere of high expectations and within the context of an English language-learning environment. In making this assessment, Medi's international will evaluate each candidate’s English language proficiency, demonstrated academic achievement and developmental and social/behavioural history. This may include an interview. Parents should note that current section's size/space availability and parents’ priority status also affect admission recommendations. Besides priority status, admissions decisions may also take into account the short and long term balance of English language and other relevant demographic factors in our establishment in order to sustain and support the organization’s mission and programs.

Do you keep my application on file?

Children that complete the application process and are placed on a waiting list will remain on the waiting list for the academic year for which they applied. If a seat is not found for the applicant within that academic year, parents may apply for the following academic year by contacting the admissions office in March. Applications will not automatically roll over to the following academic year. Incomplete applications will be discarded after 30 days.

Can my child attend Medi's international if he/she is not fluent in English?

Medi's international does not have an English language requirement in PreK-1 through PreK-2. though speaking English or having some knowledge of English may increase an applicant’s likelihood of being accepted.

Mid-year kindergarten applicants and kids that are applying non-English speaking children will be tested to assess their English proficiency level.

How does my child prepare for the English proficiency exam?

The English exam tests a kid’s overall knowledge of English. It is not a test that one can necessarily study for because its purpose is to determine English language proficiency rather than knowledge of specific vocabulary and phrases.

Applicants are encouraged to speak English with a native speaker as often as possible and to read in English. Some families engage an English tutor prior to their arrival to help their children.
 

What is your program?

The program’s language of instruction is English, and its standards are based predominantly utilizing North American texts, resources, and materials.

Can I visit your establishment?
