Admissions

Enrolment 2025 - 2026

SHACKLETON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is a British school offering instruction based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales. Therefore, students who wish to enter at age 5 and up must demonstrate the minimum necessary knowledge.

All applicants, even if they come from another British school and/or are native speakers, will undergo a written test according to their age, and will have to present, that same day, the academic report from their previous school.

The decision, with respect to the suitability of the applicant, will be taken by the management team, which will also determine if any special measures are necessary to help the student’s transition.

Some applicants may be admitted to the school on the condition that they work with a personal tutor for some months.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, we will offer Nursery up to Year 11, and will continue to open courses each year until we reach
Year 13, the equivalent of the baccalaureate.
