    Placement Assessment & Interviews

    Depending on the applied year level, the application process may include student/family interviews, written placement tests, external assessment, and/or online evaluations. The specific requirements for each applying family will be communicated at the onset of the application review.

     

    Year level and programme placement of students at YCIS Beijing is based on several factors, including academic performance, English language proficiency, skills development, prior years of schooling, social development, date of birth, gender, cultural background and learning needs.

     

     

    The Placement Assessments may also include;

     

    • a one-on-one meeting or interview,
    • a written/online language placement assessment,
    • an external assessment (for children with significant learning needs)
    • other necessary placement testing and/or meetings/interviews.

    Admissions Department will contact you to arrange necessary placement testing and/or meetings/interviews.

    Following the assessment, the school will make the final decision regarding the appropriate year level and programme placement for each child.
