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. Initiate contact and plan a visit. The best way to apply for a place is to do so after your visit to ABIS. ABIS will respond with the right information to start the process and help you arrange a suitable next step.
2. Submit the Expression of Interest form. After you submit the Expression of Interest form, ABIS will contact you with the information needed to get started and to outline the next steps in the admissions process. This form serves as the entry point to receiving formal guidance and scheduling. You can also request a tour as part of the early engagement.
3. Book a tour or appointment with an admissions officer. Use the Book a Tour option to arrange a time to meet with an ABIS admissions officer and to tour the facilities. This visit provides an opportunity to discuss program options, grade placement, and any specific questions you have about the IB offerings. ABIS supports this step by providing contact through the Setsmore booking page and the main site.
4. Attend the tour and receive initial guidance on the next steps. During the appointment or tour, ABIS will outline the remaining steps required to complete the application and inform you about the documents, timelines, and any program-specific considerations. This session is designed to clarify how to proceed with submissions and assessments if applicable.
5. Prepare and submit the formal application and required documents as directed. ABIS will provide a checklist and clear instructions on what needs to be prepared to complete the application process, based on the information given during your initial contact and tour. The school will guide you through the documented requirements and scheduling of any subsequent steps.
6. Placement decision and enrollment. ABIS will confirm placement if space is available and provide enrollment instructions, timelines, and any corresponding financial commitments via the official admissions process communications and the school's fee documents. For detailed information on fees and payments, refer to the Fees & Financial Commitments materials published by ABIS.
ABIS does not publish a waitlist or pool system in its public-facing admissions materials.
