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. Parents begin the process by completing the online Admission Form for the Cyberjaya campus. Once submitted, they receive an email confirmation, and the school’s Admissions team typically responds within 48 hours.
2. A campus visit and discussion with school staff are encouraged to clarify the admission process and allow families to observe the school environment firsthand.
3. An entrance assessment is arranged. For Key Stages 1 and 2, it involves classroom-based English and Mathematics testing. For older students, there is a written exam covering subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Verbal Reasoning, followed by a short interview with the Principal or Head of Division.
4. Feedback on the assessment is sent via email, usually within 5 to 7 working days.
5. Based on the assessment results and availability of places, the school may offer admission, place the child on a waitlist if the year group is full, recommend a re-assessment 3 to 6 months later if the initial attempt was unsuccessful, or decline admission if the school cannot meet the child’s educational or language needs.
6. Once admission is offered, parents complete registration documentation and make the required payments to secure the place. Before the child begins, a meeting with the CEO or another senior leader is arranged.
The school does operate a waitlist system when year groups are full. Children who complete the entrance assessment are placed on the waitlist and may be offered enrolment when space becomes available. The waiting period can range from 6 to 18 months. Entry priority is usually based on assessment and application dates, though admissions may give priority to siblings.
The school does not advertise specific scholarship programs for prospective students.
