ADMISSION
Open to any child in the State of Louisiana, ISL seeks students from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds who will benefit from the challenging academic program. ISL admission requirements are consistent with the school’s language immersion policy. Students are admitted in Kindergarten based on the results of a developmental observation. Older students are admitted in higher grades only if they are appropriately experienced in their language of study. Admission is based on a lottery system.
Admission Procedures
To submit an application for admission to the International School of Louisiana, you may:
- contact ISL by telephone at (504) 654-1088 or by e-mail, admissions@isl-edu.org, to request an admissions application,
- complete and print the admission application here and mail the completed form to The International School of Louisiana, Admissions Department, 1400 Camp Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
Completed applications are entered into a random lottery. Once the random drawing takes place, those chosen are notified by mail. The registration process is then initiated. Students who have already been selected need to reapply in following years. Applications with a number higher than the number of slots available will be placed on the waiting list.
To enter kindergarten children should be 5 years old by September 30th.
Siblings of ISL students must advance through the standard registration procedure, which includes timely submission of a completed ISL application packet and successful completion of a school-administered kindergarten-readiness assessment. Siblings will be offered a space based on these requirements, and will not be placed in the lottery.
