- Eligibility
All applicants to CLIP are considered, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, sex, or national origin. If a place is available, applicants are interviewed and assessed by the respective Director of the relevant School or their representative. Each candidate's profile is developed, including quantitative and qualitative data. The former involves testing results and school records, such as grade and progress reports, exam, and test results, psychological and/or psychiatric assessments, etc. Qualitative data include student interviews, home assessments and personal observations made by staff. The above notwithstanding, CLIP is a non-selective school.
English is the language of instruction in all year groups. Accessing the curriculum successfully within a reasonable time and thriving in our English-language learning environment is the guiding principle for admission to the school. English as Additional Language (EAL) support is available within our academic programme.
