HOW TO JOIN US

1. Get to Know Us

Please complete the Enquiry Form, giving us a little information about your child.

2. Visit Us – Virtually or In Person

The best way to gain a real understanding of what XIC has to offer your child is to arrange a visit. During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the Director of the College and the Heads of Primary or Secondary, depending on your children’s ages. You’ll also get to meet some of our dedicated teachers and chat with our students. We believe that a visit is the most effective way to immerse yourself in the essence of our School, experience how we interact with the children and feel the unique atmosphere here. Additionally, if visiting in person isn’t feasible, we offer a wonderful virtual visit option.

For those interested, we also extend an invitation for your children to have a taster day or two, giving them a genuine sense of the warm family atmosphere that thrives within our College. We’re confident that after such an experience, your child will never want to leave!

3. Offer and Acceptance

Once we have all the relevant information and can confirm there is an available place, we will make a formal offer of a place at XIC in the form of a letter coupled with the Registration Form.

4. Registration

Should you decide that we are the right school for your child, please return the Registration Form signed, with a copy of your identification, Passport, NIE or DNI, accompanied by the registration fee of 600€ per child. Please also provide a copy of your child’s most recent school report. It is our policy to contact the previous school prior to registration.

ADMISSIONS AT XIC

When it comes to choosing the right school for your child, it can be a daunting task to navigate the wealth of information available online. Prospectuses, exam results and the advice of parents whose children are already settled in schools help to build a picture but we believe there is no better way to get a feel for a school than by arranging a visit!

Our absolute priority in Xabia International College is to provide a welcoming environment where our students and staff can be happy. Contented people in a caring place can achieve outstanding things! As parents, the greatest gift we can give our children is to create opportunities for them to develop their self-esteem to ensure that they are resilient, enabling them to tackle and overcome any obstacle they face.

At XIC we encourage children to take up opportunities and embrace challenge with tenacity. The Admissions process can differ from school to school and we understand that at times it can appear quite complex so our role is to also guide parents through, making the application procedure as smooth and straightforward as possible. We feel very lucky to be part of such a vibrant learning community which has an energy and sense of fun where children thrive and very much look forward to welcoming you.

STARTING AT XIC

Through Primary up to Year 11, each student is allocated a Form Tutor with whom they register each morning and who has special responsibility for the student’s pastoral care. The Form Tutor ensures that students understand College procedures and will endeavour to make them feel “at home”. The tutor also monitors with particular care the progress of each new student during the first month to ensure that the student is integrating into the social and academic life of the College. For students who come to Secondary from the College’s Year 6, the transition process starts in the Spring term. Richard Wijeratne, the Director of the College and Mike Mills, Head of Secondary, visit Primary and hold meetings with Year 6 students and parents, along with their new form tutor in Secondary and the Head of Spanish.

Students from the current year 7 also attend to answer questions that the Year 6 students might have regarding their start in Secondary, as well as the year ahead. A full-day visit is then arranged for the whole of Year 6, together with their teacher. Assessment details are provided by the Year 6 teacher who also meets with teachers of Year 7 at the beginning of the Autumn term to give advice on suitable English and Maths groups. The Head of Spanish Studies liaises with Spanish teachers in Primary to allocate groups for Year 7. An induction morning for all new students takes place before the beginning of the Autumn term.
