All students who apply for admission to MICS must demonstrate through entrance assessments and/or previous school records that they can benefit from the educational programmes offered. MICS may contact an applicant’s previous school should further information be necessary in order to process admission.

In addition to meeting admission criteria in relation to suitability to benefit from the academic programmes offered, students must meet the English language requirements for the year level into which admission is sought. Where English is a second language, the school must be sure that the student will be able, through available English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, to access the curriculum.

Where students have existing special needs, it is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to fully disclose the nature and extent of these needs at the time of admission, and to provide all relevant documentary evidence. The school reserves the right to determine, prior to admission, whether a student’s need for additional support can be met by available Student Support Services (SSS) programmes. Where the school determines that it is not in a position to offer the required level or nature of support, admission will not be offered.

Conditional Placement may be offered in circumstances where the school deems this necessary. In such instances, regular, periodic reviews will be held to reassess the student’s admission status.

Where a student has been admitted to the school with an identified need for additional support – learning support, EAL support or guidance support – additional fees may be charged to the parent/guardian.

To seek admission to Morgan International Community School parents need to complete and provide for each child:

NURTURING AND SUPPORTING STUDENTS TO LIVE SUCCESSFULLY


At Morgan International Community School students are provided with the best environment to support their needs and the opportunities to make lifelong friendships with students from diverse backgrounds.

When a young person enters boarding school, the change in environment is both an excitement and a stress. Adjustments are needed in many ways – nutritional (new foods), social (new friends), physical (new environment), and emotional (new way of life).

At MICS, we make sure that all students will adjust to their new environment safely, smoothly and successfully.

This starts with assessments, right from the admission stage, of the boarding students' characteristics and their academic, social, emotional and physical needs. Guided by the assessment results, our guidance and residence staff tailors the students' room placement, residence services and residence programs to their needs. Regular follow-ups are done by our staff to ensure that students are adjusting successfully, and modifications are made as required.

Through our boarding programs, our students of all ages are guided into successful independent living, and learn to understand and accept each other, while living with their peers from other nationalities.
