1. Application Submission
Parents begin by completing the application form and paying the non-refundable application fee of RM 700. At this stage, supporting documents such as previous school reports, a copy of the child’s passport or birth certificate, and any relevant health information are required. Applications are reviewed to ensure that the year group placement and curriculum pathway are suitable for the student.
2. Placement Test
All applicants are asked to sit for a school placement test to assess their readiness for the appropriate year level. The test helps teachers understand the student’s academic strengths and identify whether any additional support, such as English as an Additional Language (EAL), may be needed. Younger children may be assessed through informal observations rather than formal written tasks.
3. Interview or Meeting
Following the assessment, parents and the student may be invited to meet with a member of the school’s academic team or principal. This meeting is designed to clarify the school’s expectations, answer questions, and ensure that families understand the curriculum and school policies. It also provides an opportunity for the school to learn more about the child’s learning style and needs.
4. Offer of Place
If the application is successful, the school issues an offer letter. To confirm the place, parents are required to pay the one-time registration fee (amount depends on year group) and the refundable deposit of RM 5,000. At this point, the student is officially enrolled for the agreed start date.
5. Fee Payment and Orientation
The first term’s tuition fees must be paid before the student's first class. The school offers an orientation program for new students and their families to help them settle into the school community, including introductions to class teachers and classmates before the first day.
