Acceptance to CIS will be based on a comprehensive review of all requested documentation. This may include, but is not limited to:

• Consideration of a student’s age and/or the most recent grade level completed.

• Review of prior school reports.

• Student profile considerations including behaviour, social skills, work ethic, attitude, English proficiency level and additional learning support needs, if any, required by the student at the current school.

CIS may need to conduct assessments, and/or contact teachers at the student’s current school. Upon completion of the review process, CIS reserves the right to decline an application regardless of whether the applicable documentation and payment of the application fee is complete or not.

The CIS student contract must be signed by both parties within 14 days from the issue date of the contract to confirm a student’s enrolment.

The Student Contract is a legal document that protects and assures the rights and conditions of the Student whilst enrolled at a Private Education Institution (PEI), in this case, the Canadian International School (CIS).

Why do I need to sign a student contract?

It is a legal requirement that all Students must enter into the Student Contract. The Student Contract is a critical document that helps to minimise future disputes, therefore, it is essential that it be completely understood by the Student (parents/legal guardians where a student is younger than 18 years of age) prior to enrolment.

This video walks you through the contract, and this FAQ document answers a number of commonly asked questions.

Supplemental Contract

In the event of a course or programme change within the academic year, a supplemental contract must be signed before the change can take effect.

Re-Enrolment

An updated student contract must be signed on an annual basis. Student contracts for the next academic year will be issued to all existing students in March of each year. If the new student contract is not signed by the necessary deadline, a student's enrollment for the following school year will not be confirmed.

If you have any queries regarding the CIS Student Contract, our Terms and Conditions, or the Supplemental contract, please contact our Admissions team at contracts@cis.edu.sg.

An invoice will be issued for the confirmation fee after the student contract is signed.

This fee must be paid and received by the School by the due date indicated on the invoice. Should this not happen, both the place offered and the student contract will lapse.
