ballet ISTD vs RAD

My DD is currently Grade 6 ISTD ballet and also does pointe but isn't happy at her dance school. She wants to carry on ballet for fitness/enjoyment but all the other local schools only offer RAD.

Does anyone know whether she would be able to enter an appropriate grade and pick up RAD now. She is not planning on a dance related career but isn't ready to give up yet.

Should be fine to move across to RAD grade 6 but the standard IMO is higher and there is more of a 'style.
Ballet is great for all round poise and IMO gives you something life long. Hope she finds a class that suits.
