Book a campus tour or meeting. Parents are encouraged to register for a campus tour to experience the school environment firsthand. Alternatively, you can book a meeting with an Admissions Counsellor, either online or in-person, to discuss specific needs and curriculum options. This provides an opportunity for direct engagement and questions.
Complete student assessment. As part of the admissions process, students are required to take an assessment. These assessments are often conducted during student counselling meetings and help the school determine the most appropriate curriculum and course level for the student.
Submit the application form and required documents. Once assessments are complete, parents can proceed to submit the online application form. This step requires attaching necessary documents such as the child's birth certificate, recent passport-sized photos, proof of residential address, and recent academic reports and testimonials from previous schools.
Payment of fees and final documentation. Upon receiving an offer of admission, parents will need to pay the first term's fees and any applicable admission fees. This finalizes the enrollment process, and all necessary documentation is completed to secure the child's place at the school.
