Traditionally, April means that Heritage International School opens its doors to all parents and students looking for better options in international education. The Admissions Office has announced the availability of a limited number of places for the 2019-2020 school year, at the only school in Moldova that offers Cambridge qualifications, recognized worldwide.
Admissions Office
The Heritage Admissions Office receives the candidates’ files for grades 1-8, at 45A, Dacia Blvd., Chisinau. The Admissions Office operates under the regular schedule (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and will accept requests including during the Easter break.

Assessment of English language skills
All candidates (grades 1-8) will be assessed to determine their level of understanding and use of the English language, if this is not their native language. Heritage applies the widely accepted WIDA learning and assessment model, which assesses the learner’s specific skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking. Students who have not previously studied English will be accepted for the placement test and will receive language development support through the Intensive English Programme until their proficiency level meets the expectations of the curriculum.
The Academic Placement Test
To study at Heritage, students in grades 2 to 8 will take an academic placement test (first grade learners are exempt). The assessment is free of charge and includes two tests – language (Russian or Romanian) and Mathematics. The minimum pass mark for admission is 70% in each test; if an applicant does not meet the minimum requirement in academics, admission may be declined.
