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. Admissions Process
- Step 1: Complete the Online Application. A parent completes the online enquiry form to arrange a school visit. This initial step initiates the processing of the child's record and schedules the next steps in the intake process. The admissions team will acknowledge the submission and guide you to the next steps.
- Step 2: Placement Assessment & Interviews. After the admissions team receives the completed application package, the child's placement assessment and interviews are arranged. Both the child and parent participate in the interview so the school can understand each child's needs and fit. Parents should anticipate potential discussion of the child's development, strengths, and areas for support during this assessment.
- Step 3: Application Review and Decision Notification. Following the interview, the school reviews the application and informs families of the placement decision. If offered placement, families receive a placement letter outlining next steps for enrollment. This stage ensures that both the child's needs and the family's expectations are aligned before registration.
- General note on admissions logistics. All children are interviewed with their parents as part of the process, ensuring a full understanding of the child's needs from the outset. The campus provides an online enquiry option to start the process and a brochure for reference.
2) Waitlist/Pool
- Public documentation does not describe a formal waitlist or pool system for Chongqing Rongke YWIEK. The published admissions steps are a three-stage process (online application, placement assessment with interviews, and decision notification), which suggests intake decisions are made through these steps rather than through a separate waitlist mechanism. Families should plan for the interview and offer timeline as part of the enrollment path. If you need clarification on waitlist status for a specific intake, contact the Admissions Office.
3) Scholarships
- Network-wide scholarship program. YCYW Education Network offers scholarships to current and prospective students in recognition of academic achievement, leadership, and service. The program is available worldwide and can cover substantial portions of tuition, depending on the specific award. The broader aim is to support talented students across campuses and encourage active campus engagement.
- Types of scholarships (as of the 2025-2026 cycle). There are several categories:
- The Madam Tsang Chor-hang Memorial Scholarship (Overall Achievement Award): 50%–100% tuition fee waiver, up to four years.
- The YCYW Subject & Talent Award: 25%–50% tuition fee waiver, for one year.
- The IGCSE/IB/A Level Award: 50%–100% tuition fee waiver, for two to four years.
- Special Scholarships: Various campuses may establish additional awards as opportunities arise.
- Eligibility and applicant requirements. For these scholarships, both internal and external students in grades 7–13 (roughly middle to high school) are eligible. External applicants must submit admission materials and participate in the required tests (CEM and CPT) before applying for the scholarship. The selection uses a structured scoring framework and the campus may adjust minimum standards by campus.
- Kindergarten eligibility. The published scholarship framework targets older students (grades 7–13). There is no publicly documented kindergarten-specific scholarship in the available network materials. Families with younger children should inquire with the admissions office for the most current guidance on any age-appropriate awards.
