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. Contact the Admissions Team
Parents can begin by reaching out to the Admissions team with questions about enrolment. Enquiries can be made online or by calling the provided contact number. The team will explain requirements, deadlines, and next steps to support families through the process.
2. Visit the School
Families are invited to the campus for a guided tour. During the visit, parents can attend presentations on the curriculum and meet both staff and current students. This helps parents gain a better understanding of the school environment.
3. Take an Assessment
Admission is subject to availability and completion of the required assessments. Parents will need to submit all supporting documents, and students will take an admissions test. Results are used to ensure appropriate placement.
4. Receive a Letter of Offer
If the student meets the requirements and a place is available, a formal Letter of Offer will be issued. Offers are made according to the school’s admissions policy and available spaces in each year group.
5. Complete the Admissions Form
Parents must complete the official admissions form—either for the private school or the international school—and return it with the necessary documents. This step finalises the student’s application paperwork.
6. Accept and Enrol
Once the admissions form is submitted, families confirm their acceptance by returning the signed offer. At this point, the child is officially enrolled, and the school prepares to welcome the student into the community.
The school operates a waiting list system for year groups that are full. If a suitable place is not available at the time of application, a successful applicant will be placed on the waiting list. The non-refundable registration fee remains valid for two academic years while a student is on the list. The school will contact parents as soon as a place becomes available.
Adcote Matrix International School offers scholarships to students who demonstrate strong academic ability and a positive attitude towards school life. These scholarships are available for entry into Year 7, Year 10 (for the IGCSE programme), and the Sixth Form (for A-Levels). The awards provide a reduction of between 25% and 100% on tuition fees but do not cover other costs like the registration fee, deposit, or boarding fees. The application process is competitive and involves submitting an application form, sitting a scholarship assessment, and attending an interview with the Scholarship Committee.
Adcote Matrix International School, located in the township of Bandar Sri Sendayan, provides a British-style education for students aged 3 to 18. The school's academic pathway begins with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), then transitions to the Secondary Cambridge curriculum for IGCSE examinations in Year 11 and A-Levels in the Sixth Form. The campus contains extensive sporting facilities, including a swimming complex, a fully-equipped sports stadium with an athletics track, and residential houses for boarders from age 11. Beyond the core curriculum, students can participate in a range of specific activities, including Model United Nations, the World Scholar's Cup, robotics clubs, and judo. The school also has a dedicated music school providing individual tuition in instruments like the violin and piano. A distinctive element is the school-wide Character Education Programme, which integrates 49 qualities such as dependability and diligence into daily school life. This approach is informed by a direct partnership with Adcote School in the UK.
