It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Application Submission
Families begin by completing the online application form through the school’s admissions platform. Required documents include a recent photo, birth certificate, passport or Hong Kong ID, visa (if applicable), and the most recent two years of school report cards. A non-refundable application fee must be paid at this stage.
2. Document Review
The Admissions Office reviews the submitted forms and supporting documents to ensure eligibility and completeness.

For families applying from overseas, the school may offer conditional acceptance, with the requirement that students complete the in-person assessment once they arrive in Hong Kong.
4. Decision Notification
Admissions decisions are communicated to families via email. If the application is successful, families receive an offer letter outlining the conditions of enrollment. Where no space is available, applicants may be placed on a rolling waitlist.
5. Enrollment and Confirmation
To secure the place, parents must submit enrollment documents, pay the required fees (including tuition installment and capital contributions), and confirm school bus or other service arrangements. A formal acceptance package is issued to finalize the student’s registration.
CAPCL follows a rolling admissions process, meaning applications are accepted and reviewed throughout the year. If places are available, qualified applicants are offered admission immediately.

The school website indicates that scholarships and financial aid may be available, but does not provide details on eligibility, selection criteria, or amounts. In addition, a Fees Reduction Scheme exists for families requiring financial support, subject to approval by the school’s Resource Management Committee.
