 LIS admits students of any nationality, religion, ethnicity and origin. In accordance with the principle of
 equal opportunity, every child enrolled in the school, regardless of his background, will receive equal
 opportunities for educational and individual development.

 For admission, LIS requires school reports from a child’s previous school. A recommendation letter from
 the last teacher that supervised the child is also needed.

 An interview with the principal and the staff will be scheduled. It would be ideal if both parents and
 guardians could attend the interview with the student. When admission is granted, please pay tuition,
 annual fee and entrance fee.
