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.
Step 1. Birth dates and grade correspondence. Students are placed in the appropriate grade level based on chronological age for Elementary School (Kinder 1 to 6). Middle School and High School are not placed by chronological age, but by last completed grade and an admissions assessment. The 2026–2027 school year guidelines show the age and grade ranges used for placement. The process ensures placement aligns with the program requirements.
Step 2. Schedule and appointment. An appointment is scheduled to tour the school and clarify any questions. If a grade has space availability, the student will take an admissions test. This step advances the applicant toward admission.
Step 3. Admitted students. If admitted, a formal acceptance letter is sent via email along with the next steps required to complete enrollment. The acceptance letter confirms admission and outlines enrollment requirements. The admissions team provides guidance on documents and deadlines as part of the process.
Step 4. Enrollment. Admitted families must complete the enrollment data form, sign the enrollment contract and code of conduct, submit all required documents, and pay the required fees. Enrollment and tuition fees are revised each year, so contact the school for the latest figures. Separate applications exist for Early Childhood, Primary School, and MS/HS.
The school offers grants and scholarships with more than $1,000,000 USD offered in grants & scholarships for 2024–2025. The annual report highlights the Grants & Scholarships program and showcases scholarship recipients and graduates attending universities.
