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. Step 1 – Application submission and documents. Applicants complete the LAMIS application form, either online or at the school, and provide the required documents. The documents required are the LAMIS application form, a copy of the birth certificate and vaccination report card, the exit document from the previous school (Elementary onwards), copies of the student's school reports for the previous two years, and reports of any special academic or psychological assessments. Applications are accepted year-round, and new students may join at any time if there is capacity in the relevant class. If classes are full, applications will be placed on the waiting list. Missing or incomplete documents can delay processing and scheduling for the interview and placement assessment.
2. Step 2 – Registration fee and wait/placement timing. After submitting the application form, the candidate must pay the one-time Application Fee and the Registration Fee in order to be scheduled for the Interview and Placement assessment. The Application Fee is non-refundable and applies only to new students; existing students are automatically considered for placement in the next grade. If class capacity is reached, the school places applicants on a waiting list to determine enrollment order when space becomes available.
3. Step 3 – Interview, placement, and special needs disclosure. All applicants attend a face-to-face interview and placement assessment to determine the appropriate grade and fit with the school's program. Parents must inform the school of any special educational needs, such as learning difficulties or giftedness, as failure to provide relevant information may lead to the application being closed or rejected at any stage. The school assigns placement based on several factors, and language support may be offered if needed (e.g., additional English or Burmese language classes) with options for extra in-class or after-school help to support the student's transition.
Step 4 – Acceptance, enrolment, and fees. Once placement is confirmed and the family has completed the interview, the school offers a place; to secure the offer, the Enrolment and Deposit Fee must be paid within 5 working days, and full payment of all remaining fees is required before the first day of attendance.
Step 5 – Preparation for school. Preparation includes school uniform, drop-off/pick-up arrangements, attendance at the School Orientation session (parents must be registered to attend), meal preferences/arrangements, and provision of books and school supplies. The school also provides guidance through the Parent Liaison Team as needed.
