Admissions

1. For any new applicant, a written test of English and Mathematics, and an oral English assessment are required to establish the level of language support. The tests help tailor support for each student, regardless of educational history, and ensure that any needed support is available. The placement tests are designed to help the school determine the appropriate level of language and academic assistance. 2. Admission is based on the placement test results, a review of previous school records (if applicants or students are not from home-schooling), the applicant's age, and the class size for which the student would register. Based on the results of the placement test and the oral test, the new applicant and their parents/guardians will be informed of the level at which the student will be placed. Final placement decisions are made by the principal and the academic heads of the school. 3. Upon acceptance by the parents/guardians of the placed level, admission proceeds accordingly for the new student. The school informs the parents/guardians of the level and next steps, and the transition to the placed level is overseen by the principal and academic heads. 4. Application requirements include: a completed new student application form; previous school records (if applicable); a copy of birth certificate or a copy of a passport (if applicable); and fees for placement test, registration, a three-month course fee, material fee, and the library membership.
