    “QSIY may admit a student with limited learning needs, problems or disabilities and within the scope of meeting the student’s needs in the classroom. However, it is important to know that QSIY does not have a resource department and so there may be a limitation in accepting a student with special needs. For students with moderate disabilities, the school will review additional information including evaluations, reports, IEPs, or school referrals required to help the school assess whether a program can be provided to meet the academic needs of the applicant. At times, QSIY accepts special needs students based on the family or sponsor providing the additional school fees to cover the cost of additional professional  services.”–QSIY Representative

    The Regional Education Officer for this school is Mary Russman.

This is intended to provide general information. Prospective users of the schools may wish to inquire further of A/OPR/OS or contact the school directly for more specific and up-to-the-minute information. Information and statistics are current as of September 2022 and provided by the school.

NOTE: School situations can change quickly, particularly as schools face cutbacks to learning support programs due to the pandemic, unrest, and economic uncertainty. For the most current information, work with the REO and school. Information in this document was collected by the Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools directly from the school in fall 2022 and shows the availability of services rather than an assessment of the quality of the services. The profile is intended as a jumping off point for a conversation with the REO and school to understand the best fit for your child. Definitions may vary school to school.
