The school offers places to students based on school records, interviews, reports and transcripts not by examination.

Curriculum
The North London International School aims to provide a secure, well-ordered and happy environment with the learning process at its core, offering the finest possible education for all pupils in order for them to reach their full potential. Serving a cosmopolitan and diverse North London community, great importance is attached to respect, understanding and empathy with everyone's cultures, religions and backgrounds.

Students follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, starting at aged three with the Primary Years Programme, moving onto the Middle Years Programme at age 11 and the IB Diploma Programme at age 16. The programmes are designed to encourage the development of learning skills and to meet a child's academic social, physical, emotional and cultural needs. Through enquiry based learning and various disciplines, subject interrelatedness is accentuated, preparing students for the pre-university Diploma Programme.

The school recognises that students can have a variety of different learning styles. The Quest Programme is designed for students who need help developing strategies to assist them to study effectively. Through one to one tuition from specialist staff, students can reach their full potential, further enhanced by the school's teacher-student ratio.
