ADMISSIONS

We are excited you have decided to pursue your education at MFSIS. Please review the process below and contact us should you require more information.

APPLY

Thanks to our strong track record in delivering the English National and Cambridge curricular to our diverse student community, demand for a place at My First Step International School is highly competitive.

Parents may walk-in or send in their enquiries via admissions@mfsis.edu.gh. This is then responded to by the Head of Admissions. If parents are in the country, they will be invited to the Office of Admissions for an informal interview. Prospective parents who are abroad will be interviewed via Google Meet or Zoom.

After the interview, an application form will be issued by the Head of Admissions if appropriate.

It is important to note that the Office of Admissions will only communicate with a parent or legal guardian. If a child is in the care of an adult who is not the parent, the Office of Admissions requires a letter of authorization from the parent or parents stating that the adult is able to act on their behalf in the affairs of the child.

It is advised to apply as early as possible as demand for places is high.

Stage 1 : Completing the Application

  • Soft or hard copies of the completed application form are submitted to the Office of Admissions.
  • The registration fee can be paid online (see preferred options in Guide) or paid at a bank, into the MFSIS Account (see details in Guide). The finance department will also accept cash payment in cedi equivalent for the registration fee only. No other payment is required at this point. The fee is $100 (USD) for all applications (Nursery to Sixth Form)

NB: The School is unable to proceed with an application without all of step 1 being in place.

 

All applications are to be submitted to the Office of Admissions located in the administration block in the School.

As soon as the completed application is received, the file will undergo a detailed review by the Office of Admissions. If appropriate, the review will also involve Academic Management, Counsellor and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). All applications go to the Principal for final approval. Applications will be acknowledged within the working week. Parents will be notified by e-mail, so should ensure that all contact information on the application is correct.

If an application has been unsuccessful, parents will be notified by email and are required to indicate their intent to remain on the waiting list for the next academic year.

Please find below the steps in the admissions process:

Stage 2: Entrance Assessments

  • English is the language of instruction, therefore, entrance exams are conducted in English
  • Entry assessments for Nursery, Reception and Year One take place in April.
  • Year Two to Year Six entry assessments take place in June.
  • Secondary School entrance examinations take place in May
  • -Forms One to Three are tested in Maths and English
  • Late entrants (expatriates and returnee Ghanaians ) will be tested in August or as required.
  • Non-resident applicants may, at the discretion of the Head of Admissions, be tested in their country of residence.
  • Results and recommendations will be submitted to the Office of Admissions for evaluation in consultation with the sectional VPs and Principal.
  • Prospective locally domiciled students are required to spend a day in the year group to which they have applied. This is to enable teachers to observe pupils in the school setting and fully assess whether M.F.S.I.S. can meet their needs.

Acceptance/ Denial of Placement

The decision to make an offer of admissions is always approved by the Principal.

  • After the assessment, Parents/Guardians will receive notification by e-mail on whether their child will be offered a place or not.

Stage 3 and 4: Payment of Fees and submission of documentation

  • Once the child has received acceptance into the school, the appropriate admission and tuition fee payment must be paid by 30th June in the year of entry for students enrolling in September. Late or midyear entrants will be given individual timeframes. When payment is made at any one of our designated banks (please see fee schedule), the deposit slip must be submitted to the Accounts Office as proof of payment.
  • When the deposit slip from the bank is presented, an official receipt will be issued from the school.
  • Parents are informed of all mandatory documentation including medical reports and previous school reports are to be given before the deadline for submission
