The school calendar keeps you updated on important events and is updated regularly. Also see the weekly newsletter to enrolled families.
Grade 10 parents and students who are invited to study in the Cambridge Programme have received an email from Ms Rebecca and Ms. Asta, which includes a first indication of their child’s chosen Cambridge subjects for Grades 11 &12. These can be adjusted and finalised in March. The decision to reenroll at VIS for the CIE AS/A programme is dependent on the student’s prior performance, attendance, work ethic and good financial standing. In order to confirm your place, a response to the email and an enrollment fee are required.
Students from grades 8 – 10 have requested a special evening to add some energy to the winter calm. They can save the date for a winter formal.

Demonstrate that you take learning seriously by being our partners.
