Admissions

Welcoming a new child into the Ihifix family is something we take very seriously. Our admissions process is straightforward, transparent, and personalized. We want to ensure that our school is the right fit for your child and that you have all the information you need along the way.
We admit students into various entry points from primary through secondary, and we embrace diversity in our student body. Here’s how to join Ihifix International School:
Age Groups & Entry Levels: We currently offer admission into Primary classes (typically Grade 1 through Grade 6) and Junior Secondary (Grade 7 and upward as we grow). Whether your child is just starting primary school or you are looking to transfer them in at a higher grade, we have entry points at key stages.

1

Inquiry & Application

The journey usually begins with you reaching out by phone, email, or an in-person visit. Our friendly Admissions Team will provide you with an application form online. Complete the application form and submit it along with required documents (birth certificate, recent passport photos, last school report/transcript if transferring, and any relevant medical info). We encourage families to apply early, as spaces are limited and demand is high.

2

Assessment & Interview

Once we receive your application, we will invite your child for a short entrance assessment. There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s simply a way for us to understand your child’s current learning level and needs. For primary applicants, it might involve basic literacy and numeracy exercises. For older students, we may include Mathematics, English, and a general aptitude test. On the same day, there will be a casual interaction with the child and parents. Think of it as a friendly interview. We want to get to know your child and give you a chance to ask questions too. This holistic view ensures we can support your child’s transition to Ihifix effectively.

Admission Decision

After the assessment and interview, our admissions committee reviews the results. We typically communicate the admission decision within a few days. If offered a place, you will receive an admission letter/package outlining the next steps.

4

Enrollment & Onboarding

To secure your child’s spot, you will need to formally enroll by completing acceptance forms and paying a commitment fee (which is usually part of the tuition). We offer flexible payment options (detailed in our Tuition & Fees section) to make this manageable for families. Once enrolled, you will receive our New Family Welcome Kit, including the school calendar and uniform details.

Enrollment Requirements

Along with the application form, please prepare the following:

A copy of your child’s birth certificate, National ID or International passport (for age verification).

4 recent passport-sized photographs of the child.

Last academic report card or transcript from the previous school.

Immunization/health records (to ensure we are aware of any medical needs or allergies).

Any diagnostic testing or special education evaluations (if your child has special learning needs, so we can arrange proper support).

Reference letter from previous school (optional, but can be helpful, especially for secondary level transfers).

Technology requirements: Because of our digital curriculum, all students are required to have a personal laptop that meets our minimum specifications (Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM, 2.5 speed, webcam, HDMI etc.). We can guide you on this and even recommend affordable options. We also require every student to have standard headphones and blue light filtering glasses (to protect their eyes during screen time).

Uniforms: Once admitted, uniforms can be purchased through our school store. We will provide a list of required uniform pieces for boys and girls. We take pride in our smart, comfortable uniforms that instill a sense of unity and pride among students.

Application Timeline

Admissions for the new academic session (which begins every September) typically open in the preceding term. For example, for a September start, we accept applications from early in the year up until spaces are filled. We do rolling admissions if spots are available, but it’s best to apply before our announced deadline to guarantee consideration. Interviews and assessments are scheduled promptly after applications are received. We publish exact dates (like open house events, application deadline, assessment weeks) on our website’s Admissions page each year.

Transition & Support

We know changing schools can be a big step for children and parents. Our team works hard to make the transition smooth. New students are paired with “buddies” in their class to help them settle in. In the first weeks, teachers give extra attention to new joiners to ensure they adapt well both academically and socially. We also hold a New Parents Orientation to walk you through school policies, communications channels, and whom to contact for what, so you feel as comfortable as your child will in their new school.

If at any point you are unsure about the process or have questions, our Admissions Office is just a call or visit away. We are here to help and to make your child’s entry into the Ihifix community a pleasant and exciting experience.
