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. The Shanghai Japanese School requires applicants to review the admission guidelines for the year and submit an online application for the desired entry year.
2. After online submission, the school may require a pre-application education consultation or preliminary interview to assess the student's Japanese language readiness and suitability before the main briefing. An official New Enrollment/Enrollment briefing (including an interview) is then held for online-applicants who have completed the required steps and documents. Attendance at this briefing is mandatory.
3. If the briefing approves the applicant, enrollment proceeds on the date designated by the school, and families should complete all enrollment steps on that date.
No waitlist or pool system is described by the school.
