1. Initial Inquiry and Campus Visit
Parents are encouraged to submit an inquiry form through the school website or contact the Registrar’s office to begin the process. The school offers personalized tours and virtual tours to allow families to view the 80-acre campus and boarding facilities. It is important to note that visiting the school allows parents to meet with the Head of Primary or Secondary and understand the school’s specific environment and academic expectations.

2. Application Submission
The formal application is completed online via the school's admissions portal. Parents must provide the student's birth certificate, passport-sized photographs, and the most recent school reports from the previous two years. A non-refundable registration fee of MYR 500 for Primary or MYR 530 for Secondary must be paid at this stage for the application to be processed.

3. Assessment and Interview
Once the application is reviewed, students are invited for an entrance assessment. For Primary students, this involves an observation or age-appropriate test, while Secondary and Sixth Form applicants sit for CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) and potentially English or Mathematics papers. Following the assessment, an interview is conducted with a senior member of the academic staff to evaluate the student’s suitability for the school and their English language proficiency.
