1. Program eligibility and options. Shanghai Gold Apple School runs three international streams: International Primary for ages roughly 6–12, International Middle for about 14–16, and International High School for students who have completed middle school or higher. International Primary classes are capped at 22 students per class, International Middle at no more than 30 per class, and International High School at 25 per class; teaching is conducted in English for the international high school. These details define which track a family should pursue based on the student's age and current grade.

2. Initial inquiry and registration. Families begin by contacting the admissions team by telephone or by online registration to start the process. After registration, parents wait for an admissions staff member to reach out with next steps and scheduling information. This registration step helps determine eligibility and the appropriate interview and testing windows.

3. Application and examination fee. An application/examination fee of 300 RMB must be paid to proceed with the assessment. The fee is paid as part of the enrollment process after registration and before testing. This fee is non-refundable and confirms the candidate's participation in the admissions assessments.

4. Entrance assessments and interviews. For international streams, admissions involve English and Mathematics examinations, followed by an interview (often bilingual). The class placement is informed by the exam results and interview performance. Successful candidates move on to the tuition/payment stage after completing these assessments.

5. Admission decision, tuition payment, and formal notice. Upon meeting the required assessments, families are asked to pay the applicable tuition and related fees. After payment, the school issues a formal admission notice, finalizing enrollment for the chosen program. This completes the admissions process and allows the student to begin the program.
