MBIS grade levels are equivalent to the US school system, with the final year of schooling being Grade 12. The grade levels are also equivalent to Japanese grades, but the different academic year (August-July) means that students entering MBIS after graduating from Japanese schools will enter MBIS at their graduating grade, until the end of the MBIS academic year.
Students applying from national school systems with different grade/age numbering should contact the MBIS Office for more information regarding likely grade placement.
MBIS places students in grades that are appropriate for both age and academic ability - we do not promote students or allow them to skip grade levels.
