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: Submit the Admission Enquiry Form. The form can be filled out online or emailed back to the school to initiate the inquiry and ensure you receive appropriate information when you visit. This initial step helps the school respond to your questions and prepare for a visit if desired.
Step 2: Admissions evaluation and offer. Each child is evaluated on an individual basis, with consideration given to age, years of schooling, prior schools, and English and Math levels. The Handbook shows the average age for each year group, and a spot is offered only if the school believes it is the appropriate fit for the child and the school community. Written offers are issued by the school Director when a suitable placement is identified.
Step 3: Optional meeting with administration. If you wish, you may meet with the principal and vice principal to get to know the teachers better; the school generally does not arrange meetings with teachers before enrollment. This meeting option provides an opportunity for families to ask questions and gain a sense of the school environment before committing.
Step 4: Enrollment following an offer. After a written offer is issued, families receive enrollment instructions from the school detailing the next steps to complete the admission process and secure a place. The school emphasizes that offers are contingent on fit and that ongoing communications will guide the enrollment steps.
There is no published waitlist or pool system in the KVIS admissions materials. Admissions decisions are described as individualized and conducted by the Director through written offers, with no reference to a formal waitlist process. Families are instead guided by the offer-and-enrollment steps as outlined by the school.
KVIS does not publish any scholarship or financial-aid program on its admissions materials. There is no documented scholarship process or eligibility criteria on the site, and the admissions resources focus on enquiry, evaluation, and placement rather than financial aid. For inquiries about potential financial options, contact the school directly.
