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. Attend a school tour and an informative session with an administrator. Following the tour and session, parents may complete an enrollment form. This formality assists in assessing availability. Applications are processed on a continuous basis and based on space availability.
2. Submit the online enrollment form. After submission you will receive an auto-generated confirmation email; the administration will process the application and you will receive an agreement form if a place is available. To confirm the offered place, return the signed form and complete other checklist items through the application portal.
3. If admitted, pay a 1-month school fee as a deposit to accept the offer. The deposit covers the first month of school fees. If the deposit is not paid by the stated deadline, admission will be cancelled. The deposit is non-refundable if the application is withdrawn.
4. NLIS offers placements for grades 1-10 and DP1-DP2, and applications are processed on a continuous basis based on availability. The PYP and MYP admissions start October 1 each year, with placement offers typically issued in February if space is available. The Diploma Programme admissions also start October 1, with decisions following after the process is completed. Residence status and visa requirements apply for DP.
5. For DP, residence status and visa requirements apply for high school students.
