It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Supporting documents such as the child’s birth certificate, passport, school records, and vaccination details should be submitted.
2. Entrance test and interview. Once the application is reviewed, the child will be scheduled for an entrance test and a student interview. These are usually done on the same day to assess academic readiness and personality fit.
3. Optional trial class. If necessary, the school may offer a trial class to allow the student to experience a regular school day and help staff assess classroom compatibility more thoroughly.
4. Parent meeting. The school will arrange a meeting with the parents to explain the school’s values, curriculum, and expectations. This step ensures that there is mutual alignment between the school and the family.
5. Admission decision. If the school determines that it can meet the student's learning needs, the child will be offered a place.
6. Registration and orientation. Parents must then complete the registration process, after which the student will be invited to attend an orientation session before formally starting classes.
