Students enter VISA from a variety of educational backgrounds and we consider factors such as age, previous educational system, grade placement and academic success within that system, as well as international school experience, English language fluency, learning/behavior challenges and sibling age when determining grade placement. VISA reserves the right to make the final decision regarding grade placement.
