Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Apply by submitting an application form. 2. Prepare the documents: a recent passport-sized photo of the child; a scanned copy of the child's ID card or passport; scanned copies of both parents' ID cards; and the latest report from the previous school. 3. After submitting the application form, the Admissions Office acknowledges receipt by email; the child will be waitlisted if a place is not yet available. For Grade 1, a short interview with the child will be arranged. Grades 2–10 applicants will undergo placement tests before a place can be confirmed. Status can be tracked at all times through the Admission Portal. 4. If accepted, a letter of confirmation with the start date and time is issued, followed by additional information about the first days of school. Entrance interviews and tests: Grade 1 interview about 15 minutes; Grade 2–10 placement tests on one date in April/May and one date in August; results are communicated by email and/or phone.
Applicants who meet the admissions criteria but do not have an immediate place are placed on a waiting list; when a vacancy becomes available, they are considered for the vacancy along with others on the waiting list in accordance with school-approved criteria.
