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. Initial inquiry and information gathering. Parents express interest in NBHIS by contacting the Admissions Office to start the conversation and receive guidance on next steps. This initial contact also provides the opportunity to ask about current fee schedules, timelines, and any immediate requirements for applications.
2. Schedule a visit and learn about college pathways. To set up a visit, families should coordinate with the Admissions Office so a suitable time can be arranged. Visiting NBHIS gives you a chance to tour the campus and speak with staff about how NBHIS supports college destinations, including information about NBHIS' college counselling and university representation programs. During this stage you will also receive information about how NBHIS guides students in selecting IB subjects in relation to post-secondary goals. For reference, NBHIS invites inquiries about the student's college selection process as part of the visit.
3. Submit the application via NBHIS admissions staff. The whole application and enrollment process is handled by NBHIS admissions staff, with Lily Li identified as the head of the admissions team on the NBHIS site. Families are directed to work with this team for submission guidelines, timelines, and any requested supporting materials. A link to the head of the admissions team (Lily Li) is provided on the NBHIS site.
4. Application review, decision, and enrollment coordination. The NBHIS admissions staff reviews submitted applications and communicates decisions to families. If an offer is extended, the same admissions team coordinates the enrollment steps and onboarding process for the new student. The process, including enrollment, is managed by the NBHIS admissions staff, under the leadership of the admissions head.
NBHIS does not publish a waitlist or pool policy on public pages.
NBHIS has historically offered scholarship opportunities, with scholarship forms and application materials published on the NBHIS site in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 cycles. The Scholarship Application pages indicate that families could download scholarship forms for those years, suggesting an established scholarship pathway at that time. Current publicly posted details (such as eligibility criteria, award amounts, and application windows) are not available on NBHIS's public pages, so families should contact the Admissions Office for the latest information and instructions if pursuing a scholarship. Relevant historical materials include Scholarship Form 2017-18 and Scholarship Form 2018-19.
