This table is a reference for comparing ages and class levels across different school systems.
Note that the age cut-off date at RISS is September 1st.
Students are placed in the most appropriate year group with a focus on stage, not age, after consultation.
The academic year runs from late August to early July.
Applying to Grades 10 and 12 (IGCSE & IBDP/IBCP programmes):
We can only accept students into Grades 10 and 12 if they have previously studied the IGCSE or IBDP/CP programme, and their subject package aligns with our offerings. If this applies to your child, please provide details of their current subjects and syllabus codes (IGCSE), or their progress in CAS, EE and TOK (for IBDP) during the application process, so we can assess the possibility of a transfer.
