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. Pre-registration: Parents begin by submitting the online pre-registration form. A fee of RM 200 is required at this stage. This reserves the student’s place in the admissions pipeline and allows the school to prepare for the next steps.
2. Registration: Families must then pay a one-time registration fee of RM 2,000, which is non-refundable. Along with this, a refundable deposit equivalent to one semester’s tuition is collected. These payments secure the application and are a prerequisite for placement testing.
3. Document submission: Parents are asked to provide supporting documents, such as the student’s birth certificate, previous school records, and identification. These must be uploaded through the admissions portal or handed directly to the school’s admissions office.
4. Placement test: The applicant undergoes a placement assessment appropriate to their year group. The school notes that placement test results are usually released within three working days, giving families a quick turnaround on admissions outcomes.
5. Offer and enrolment: Successful applicants receive an offer letter from the school. Parents then confirm the place by completing all remaining paperwork, settling fees, and preparing for their child to begin classes.
