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. Admissions timing and capacity: Admissions are targeted for the start of the academic year, typically in late August. Enrollment during the year is possible only in very rare circumstances. The main restriction on entry is space availability, and aptitude or special needs do not generally block admission. Admissions to the MYP and Diploma College depend on meeting the programmes' rigorous requirements.
2. How to apply: Parents should complete the online "Interested form" for each child by the end of December of the preceding year. The form is the first step in the process and is submitted online. After submission, the Admissions Department will schedule interviews or entrance assessments, subject to space availability.
3. Interviews and assessments: All Kindergarten applicants must attend a personal interview. All applicants from Grade 1 upwards must attend a personal interview and sit for entrance assessments. The initial entry assessment fee is referenced in the school fees schedule.
4. MoE regulations and intake ages: MoE regulations specify KG1 enters the academic year in which they become four years old. Prospective applicants to Grade 1 enter the academic year in which they become six.
5. Notification and offers: After interviews/assessments, parents will be notified of the admissions decision once all applications have been considered. Successful candidates will receive a placement offer and be asked to complete their registration.
6. Additional notes: The Academy is non-selective and inclusive. The main constraint is space availability. Admissions to the MYP and Diploma College require fulfilling the programmes' rigorous requirements.
There is no published waitlist or pool system on public materials.
The school does not advertise scholarships. Instead, it lists discounts and a limited learning-support option. Tuition discounts include an early payment discount, sibling discounts, and a loyalty programme, with amounts and eligibility described in the fees schedule.
