1. Create an Online Application account and then Create A New Student Application for your child. You can log in and out of your account and access your open application. You can print completed applications and reprint supplemental forms if needed. This system lets you track progress through the admissions process. 2. Submit the Online Application Package and, if applicable, the Boarding Form. Include Birth Certificate, Passport for the applicant and at least one parent, KITAS or KITAP, and a recommendation letter from the most recent school, along with academic records.

The Registrar extends an invitation to eligibility testing and an interview on a mutually agreed date. The applicant will take two tests: one for English proficiency and one for academic aptitude, and the interview will involve the applicant and their parents. On-site assessment is preferred, but online assessment is available if needed. 4. Admission decisions are sent by email within two weeks after testing and the interview. If admission is denied based on testing, a retest may be requested after at least six months. Upon acceptance, parents commit to tuition and to participating in religious activities, and must agree to the school's conduct standards. 5. Mountainview maintains an ongoing admissions process throughout the school year, and a wait-list may be used when space is not available at the desired grade level. Upon space becoming available, applicants on the waitlist may be tested and interviewed. 6. Sibling consideration is available, but admission remains based on academic selection and seat availability. 7. New students undergo a probationary period of one year; enrollment decisions depend on academic achievement and adaptation to school culture, with regular assessment of English Language Learners. 8. The school does not discriminate in admissions or administration on the basis of gender, race, color, or ethnicity. 9. If there are known special education needs, parents should disclose these at application time and provide documentation; the school may request additional information to determine accommodations. 10. Furlough or sabbatical leave requests should be communicated to the Registrar; the school does not reserve a space for more than one year for students on furlough.

Mountainview budgets for a small number of scholarships each year to help families that may be struggling. Please contact your school principal for the scholarship application if your family is in need of extra financial help. All scholarship applications are due on April 1st for the upcoming school year. Decisions will be made on all applications after the April 1st deadline and parents will be notified.

The wait-list is established for applicants who have completed the Online Application package and paid the admission fee but find that there is currently no available space at the desired grade level. Upon request from parents, the admission team may consider granting an admission test and interview. If a student passes the test but space is not immediately available, they will be placed on a waitlist. Immediate notification will be issued if a space becomes available, presenting a potential pathway for admission.
