WHOLE SCHOOL
Re-enrollment for SY 2025-26
Dear Parents,
As we begin preparations for the 2025-26 academic year, we kindly ask for your support in helping us plan effectively. Knowing the approximate number of returning students will enable us to allocate resources, hire staff, and ensure we provide the best possible educational experience for our students. At this stage, we ask you to share your intentions for the next academic year by completing a very short survey, even if you are currently undecided. Please click here to fill out the survey, which will remain open until Friday, January 17th, 2025.
If your family has siblings who are considering joining IICS for the new academic year, we kindly ask you to indicate this in the survey so that we can reserve their places accordingly. Please note that this is not a formal confirmation. In March 2025, we will request your final decision regarding the re-enrollment of your child(ren) for the upcoming academic year.
We truly appreciate your continued support and involvement in the IICS community. Should you encounter any issues or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season and a very Happy New Year!
Kind regards,
Zeliha OZTURK
Director of Admissions
