Admissions Procedure 		Back Of School
To all parents and prospective students.

The Surabaya International School (SIS) is an educational institution designed to serve the needs of expatriate children who are residents of Indonesia.

Each application for admission to SIS must be accompanied by full citizenship documentation of the child and parents. This documentation must include the KITAS card or DINAS visa (diplomatic or official visa). The original documents must be shown to and noted by a member of the Administrative Staff.

If the KITAS card or DINAS visa cannot be shown at the time of admission, a letter from the employer or sponsoring agency certifying that an application for the KITAS card has been lodged, must be in our files prior to the student entering the classroom. The KITAS card or DINAS visa must be shown within 60 days of admission.

To begin the process of admission to SIS, please submit the following:

  1. Completed Application for Admission form.
  2. Completed Student Background Information form.
  3. Completed Health and Emergency form.
Supporting Documentation
  1. Recent school records/transcripts, translated into English if necessary.
  2. Child's passport (please show original).
  3. Father's passport (please show original).
  4. Child's KITAS card or DINAS visa (if not yet available, a letter from the company stating that it is being processed).
  5. Father's KITAS card or DINAS visa (if not yet available, a letter from the company stating that it is being processed).
  6. Three color passport photos.
  7. Documentation that the registration fee of US $1650 has been deposited into our account.
Submission of this application does not guarantee acceptance into SIS. Incomplete information may lead to a delay in the processing of this application. Once all forms and supporting documentation have been submitted, an interview with the prospective student(s), parents and the SIS Admissions Committee will be scheduled. Upon admission, an official invoice will be sent to you with instructions on the procedure for paying school fees directly into our school account.
