1. Online application and initial contact: The admissions process begins when parents provide the child's contact information and start an online application via the “Click to Apply Online” portal. This online application is the entry point for the school to begin direct communication with families. The school prefers direct contact with parents during the application stage, so expect a follow-up from admissions after submission.
2. Holistic review of applicants: The school evaluates each applicant based on multiple factors, including academic performance, conduct, interview performance, non-academic achievements, and recommendations. If two candidates are otherwise equal, priority goes to holders of capital bonds and to siblings applying at the same time. The admissions plan targets Y1–Y13 and emphasizes small class sizes to support individualized assessment.
3. Age-group interviews and testing: Interviews are organized by age group, with candidates placed into the appropriate Year Group for the interview based on their age and year of birth. A written test may be part of the process depending on the age group. The interview and testing arrangement is designed to be age-appropriate rather than a single, uniform exam for all applicants.
4. Offer, enrollment and tuition arrangements: Admission decisions follow the holistic review and are communicated to families. Once admitted, enrollment proceeds and families begin fee arrangements under the school's payment schedule. Tuition is HK$198,000 per year for Primary, HK$208,000 for Secondary, and HK$218,000 for A‑Level or IBDP programmes, payable in 10 installments (August to May for new entrants; mid-year entrants pay from transfer month to next July). If a student withdraws or goes on suspension, tuition for the relevant month remains payable.
5. Campus visits and information sessions: The school invites prospective families to visit, participate in introductory meetings, and attend open days. Campus tours are scheduled via a form, and there are open days to engage with staff and students. These visits help families understand the school's philosophy, curriculum, and admissions policies before making a decision.
Han Academy offers merit-based scholarships across four categories: Academics; Arts and sports; Creation and invention; and Community service. A student may apply for up to two categories, but only one scholarship will be awarded, so applicants should indicate a preferred category. Scholarships are open to admitted students year‑round; applicants must demonstrate outstanding achievement in the relevant area. The scholarship committee values leadership, alignment with the school's vision, and being a positive example within the school community. Successful applicants receive written Terms and Conditions, and the school may revoke a scholarship for serious behavioral issues or underperformance. If a recipient leaves the school, the scholarship is terminated and the funds may be reimbursed.
Han Academy does not publish a formal waitlist or enrollment pool on its admissions pages.
