Admissions
Step 1: Contact the School Secretary. The Admissions team will provide you with an Application Pack. If you wish to visit in person and possibly have a tour of the school premises, contact us for an appointment. Step 2: Complete and return all requested forms and supporting documents to the School Secretary at your earliest convenience. The completed Application Form; A copy of your and your child's passport or birth certificate; Copies of the two most recent school reports (if not available in English, an English translation must be provided); The signed Home - School Agreement form; A copy of any assessments and medical, psycho-educational reports (only where requested). All documents must be completed in English and/or translated into English. Please be aware that unless all papers are completed, your child's application cannot be processed. Step 3: Decision on Admission. After receipt of a complete set of application papers the School Secretary will confirm receipt by email if you have not brought them in personally. The School Counseling Team takes the final decision on acceptance. The process of review usually takes a couple of days and the School Secretary will contact you immediately with the result. When a place for a student is available the School Secretary will offer it immediately. However, if a place is not available, the candidate's name will be placed on the respective waiting list and the School Secretary will contact the family again if and when a place becomes available.
Admissions
Step 1: Admissions eligibility. Admission is based on submission of the previous school's reports, verification of date of birth with a passport or birth certificate, and an interview with the Head teacher or Principal. Registrations are accepted at any time provided there are places available, and places are offered only to children who will benefit from the school's programs. The English Curriculum begins earlier than in many countries, and entry can be discussed a year below the stated year to aid transition or account for prior schooling and language ability. Staff consult on each applicant's suitability, and the school's selection policy is not based on family background, religion or nationality.
