IMPORTANT Before applying please note the following
1. Unless as a result of extenuating circumstances, we do not accept transfers from local Japanese schools.
2. We ask that students who plan to transfer to a local Japanese school after entering our Secondary Division do not apply for admission to our Grade 5 class.
3. All Camelot students are tested throughout their time here to keep track of their academic ability. Based on our educational guidelines and expectations the school may decide to hold back any student that does not meet expectations. As such, the progression from Primary to Lower Secondary, Lower Secondary to IGCSE, from IGCSE to A level, and then to graduation is in no way guaranteed.
4. Camelot International School is not accepting applications from applicants who wish to join us for the Grade 10 (second year of IGCSE), Grade 11 (AS-Level), and Grade 12 (A-Level) class.
Please note that we cannot accept applications from Japanese nationals with no experience in an English learning environment or ESL (English as a Second Language) applicants that require additional English support.
