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. Step 1. Check the Date of the Next Curriculum Presentation. The Curriculum Presentation is normally held in March each year. You should view the current year's Important Dates for the date of the Curriculum Presentation and/or call the office for inquiries.
2. Step 2. Prepare the Required Documents. Prepare copies of the child's birth certificate, the child's HKID or passport, both parents' HKID and passports, the child's school reports from previous and current years, and any medical or assessment reports if applicable. Ensure documents are complete and organized before submission.
3. Step 3. Submit the Application Form. The Application Form is provided as a hard copy at the Curriculum Presentation or can be downloaded. It can be submitted by mail or by hand along with all required documents and the application fee. Applications submitted after the deadline may be placed on the Academy's waiting list, and an extra administrative fee may be charged for late submissions.
4. Step 4. Parents and Student Interviews. After you submit the Application Form and required documents, an interview will be arranged for both parents to attend with their child. The school will inform applicants of the outcome by mail within about one month of the interview.
5. Step 5. Enrollment and Orientation. If accepted, the student will receive an Offer of Placement Letter. A Parent and New Student Orientation will be arranged to help families understand the school's philosophy and curriculum.
