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: The school invites you to submit an application form to enroll your child. The school's admissions team acknowledges receipt of the application and requests supporting documentation, including proof of eligibility, two years of school reports, and a reference letter addressing academic and personal traits. A school tour or video call with the admissions officer can be arranged after the initial inquiry. The school offers open enrollment year‑round to accommodate relocations.
