Admissions

In the Early Childhood Program, play related, hands-on experiences develop learning readiness, physical coordination, and social skills as well as self-confidence, self-esteem, and excitement for learning.  Activities include Library, Music, Technology, Art, and outdoor play.  All activities are conducted in English.  The children in the program learn English through modeling.

Our Elementary Program is designed to nurture each student's curiosity and motivation in learning while gaining content proficiency through the mastery learning approach.  We strive to develop the whole child by engaging students in core subjects (reading, writing, mathematics, science and cultural studies) and special subjects (art, library, music, physical education, technology, and Languages Other than English).

The MAP placement examination is given to applicants (7 yo+) to determine the appropriate placement. The assessment involves reading, language arts, and mathematics. Some students may be given a writing prompt as well.  This is more likely to occur at the secondary level to determine writing proficiency and credit transfer.  School administration and parents will also discuss the academic, social, emotional and physical development of the child.  Screening will be carried out by the classroom teacher for the first couple of weeks that a student is in the class. 

The Intensive English program is for students at QSI Bratislava who need additional instruction in verbal and written English, particularly those for whom English is not a first language. The principal goal of Intensive English is to bring students to a level of academic English, including oral competency, which allows them to transfer to regular classes as rapidly as possible. Students of different ages, maturities, linguistic backgrounds, and previous exposure to English will progress at different rates.  Students are assigned to appropriate level classes to best meet individual needs.  The content of Intensive English parallels that of the Elementary literacy courses, while building a foundation for academic success. 

QSI Bratislava may admit a student with mild learning and/or social-emotional needs within the scope of meeting the student’s needs in the classroom. However, it is important to know that QSI Bratislava does not have a resource department or school-based learning support teacher, so there are limitations in accepting students with special needs.  For students with moderate disabilities, the school will review academic documents, including evaluations, reports, IEPs, or school referrals, to determine whether a program can be provided to meet the academic needs of the applicant. This is done on a case-by-case basis.
