Everest Academy Manila

1. Initiate online application. Online applications begin on September 1, 2025. Submit the online application by clicking the Inquire button. Submission of an application does not guarantee admission, as the admissions manager and committee review every application and alignment with the Catholic-based vision and mission is required.

2. Prepare and submit the required documents. Prepare the documents listed in the Application Documents section: an ID photo with a white background, certified birth certificate, original baptismal certificate for Catholic applicants, PSA marriage contract for non-Filipinos, most recent family photo, the most recent report card for the current year, complete report cards for two previous years (Grade 1-11), Certificate of Good Moral Character for Grade 6-11, course descriptions for Grade 9-11 Math and Science (Grade 10-11 applicants), and First Communion certificate if applicable, plus a special needs report if applicable and an affidavit of legal guardianship if applicable. For non-Filipino passport holders, provide passport pages showing bio-page, valid visa, and length of stay, along with the ACR I-Card; foreign students may require a special study permit. For students previously enrolled outside the Philippines, provide the F-137/Transcript with an official English translation. All documents should be provided in English or with an English translation.

3. Attend admissions events and testing. Online application dates are followed by coordinated rounds of testing and admissions events. For 2025-2026, First Round Kinder events include an Open House on October 16, 2025, a Round 1 Kinder application deadline on November 7, 2025, testing on November 11–12, 2025, and a Second Kinder Open House on November 20, 2025. The Round 1 admissions decisions are released on November 21, 2025, with a reservation of slots due by December 5, 2025.

4. Admissions decisions and next steps. Admissions decisions for Round 1 are issued on November 21, 2025. If admitted, families must reserve a slot by December 5, 2025 to secure placement. Additional rounds follow similar timelines, with decisions released a few weeks after testing.

5. Second and Third rounds and deadlines. The Second Round (Kinder to Grade 11) includes an Open House around January 15–16, 2026, with deadlines for various levels (e.g., January 16 for Primary School, January 23 for Round 2 application, January 26–27 testing, January 30 for Middle School/High School, February 3–4 for Primary School testing, and February 6 for release of Round 2 decisions). The sequence continues with reservations by February 20, 2026 and Early Kinder enrollment by February 25–27, 2026, followed by further admissions decisions. The Third Round runs around March 26, 2026 as the all-application deadline, with testing March 17–18, 2026, and admissions decisions released March 27, 2026; new student reservations are due by April 10, 2026, with June 2026 generally marking enrollment.

6. Enrollment after admission. After admissions decisions, new student reservation deadlines and the enrollment process follow the round-specific timelines, culminating in June 2026 enrollment for the third round. A deposit is typically required to secure the place, and the exact requirements are provided in the admissions decision package. For further information on these steps, the Admissions Office can provide specifics.

Waitlist/Pool: There is no published, formal waitlist or pooling system described for Everest Academy Manila. Admissions operate in round-based cycles with explicit “reservation of slots” deadlines to secure a place, and admissions decisions are released at set dates. Slots are then reserved to confirm enrollment, rather than a separate waitlist process. The schedule explicitly includes “Reservation of slots” dates (e.g., December 5, 2025 for Round 1) and subsequent reservation windows for later rounds, which indicates seat allocation is handled through these reservations rather than a traditional waitlist.

Scholarships: Everest Academy Manila offers scholarships and grants as part of its program; the Welcome to Everest International Academy page states a 2.4 million average annual scholarship and grants since 2018. The site does not publish explicit eligibility criteria, application steps, or a public scholarship policy for Everest Manila; for detailed information, the Admissions Office should be contacted. The Tuition and Fees section also directs inquiry to the Admissions Office for further information.
