Admission Policy for Brazilian Students
RIS is able to take any number of Brazilian students as long as they are proficient in English. RIS is committed to to keeping the school-wide ELD level at or under 25% and the Lead Teachers will make admission decisions for ELD students who have limited proficiency in English depending on the level of ELD students in that specific class. All normal admission standards apply to Brazilian students without preference or discrimination.
The Registrar manages a waiting list, and prospective students are placed on this list when no openings are immediately available. Preferences will be given to prospective students on the waiting list based on the following criteria. The more criteria met, the higher the chances of being considered for enrollment when an opening becomes available.

Transfer Student Policy
High school students transferring to RIS in grades 9 through 12 from schools that offer a non-American style curriculum will be permitted to transfer a maximum of 7.5 credits for each academic year that they have completed. Following verification and review of transfer records, the Registrar will determine the specific classes that will be accepted to meet high school graduation requirements and the credits that can be awarded from each class accepted. Classes and grades accepted for transfer to RIS will be reflected on the student’s official transcripts as transferred credits.
Elementary and middle school students entering school without transfer grades during the quarter won’t receive an official report card but will receive a progress report for that time period.
High school students without transfer credits (starting after the 10th day of semester) must wait until the following semester to begin RIS and are encouraged to do distance delivery or home schooling.
Probationary Admissions Applicants with academic or behavioral deficiencies may be offered probationary admittance for nine weeks if the administrator feels the deficiencies can be corrected by the end of that time. The administrator, registrar and teachers review probationary admissions each grading period. If the necessary corrections have not occurred, the student will be denied further admittance. If the administrator and the teachers agree that the probationary period should be extended, it can be extended for another nine weeks (total of a semester).
