Students are selected with the understanding that they will be able to develop proficiency in English and Arabic. The selection of any candidate for admission to GIS will be based on academic qualification and in accordance with vacancies that may exist.

Academic Standing:

  • Pre-School applicants are admitted only on the basis of a qualifying interview.
  • Elementary, Middle & High School students are selected on the basis of the scores obtained on the GIS Entrance Examinations as well as on their previous academic achievement and school recommendation.

Age Limits:

Applicants to the KG 1, KG 2 and KG 3 levels must have completed respectively three, four and five years of age by December 31.

The final selection of any applicant is carried out by the Admission Committee of the school.

  • All students who wish to join the non-Lebanese program will need to obtain an exemption from Arabic (المقررة العربية اللغة من إعفاء) from the Lebanese Ministry of Education, and permission from the Equivalence Committee to pursue their studies in the foreign program.
