Submit the Official Application. Once you are ready to proceed, an official application form must be completed and submitted to the Admissions Office. A non-refundable Application Fee of RM1,000 is charged and needs to be included along with all necessary supporting documents, which will be specified by the school.
Student Placement Test. For all students applying to Year 3 and above, a placement test will be scheduled. This assessment aims to evaluate the student's competencies in English and Mathematics, and to identify any potential learning needs. The test format may vary based on the student's age group.
Admissions Interview or Observation Class. Following the placement test, an interview will be conducted for applicants in Year 3 and above by the respective principal or teachers. For younger applicants in Year 2 and below, an observation class will be arranged. Parents will receive notifications regarding the dates and other relevant details for these sessions.
Offer of Placement. Upon completion of the assessment and interview/observation, offers of placement may be extended to applicants. These offers can be conditional or unconditional, depending on the student's admission and academic status. To secure the student's place, parents must formally accept the offer by the date specified in the offer letter and ensure all required fees are paid.
The school operates a waiting list for prospective students. If a particular year group or class is at full capacity, eligible applicants may be placed on this list. However, specific details regarding how the waiting list is managed, such as priority criteria or the typical duration for placement, are not publicly available.
