Admissions

Admissions
Admissions Process (Cebu Campus)
1) Online enrollment initiation: Begin by scanning the QR code provided for the Online Enrollment Application Form and submit the completed form. After you submit, the School Registrar will reach out to you to outline the next steps and confirm whether any additional information is needed. Prepare to share contact details and basic information about your child so the registrar can guide you efficiently through the process. This initial step leads directly into the formal enrollment workflow for all campuses, including Cebu.

2) Submit enrollment requirements and schedule the online assessment: Gather and submit the required documents to the Administration Office. Local and foreign learners have slightly different document lists, including birth certificates, report cards, and photos, with online verification where applicable. The school offers a free Online Assessment via Google Meet to profile the student, and the schedule is arranged based on the Enrollment Application Form inputs. This assessment is part of the intake process and informs placement, not final admission.

3) Admission slip and entrance assessment: Request an Admission Slip for the entrance assessment and complete the online or on-site assessment as scheduled. The assessment is conducted online via Google Meet for eligible levels, and the scheduling is managed through your Enrollment Application Form submission. Note that the assessment is for student profiling and is free for Preschool to Grade 10; it is not the sole admission determinant for Grades 11–12.

4) Registration and fee settlement: After the assessment, settle the required school fees by the specified deadline. You will receive an updated Information Sheet for the current school year, and you may request assistance to fit and purchase school uniforms. For transferees or new students, you will also fill out the Form 137 (Transcript of Records) at the Registrar's Office. Foreign learners may need additional immigration-related documents as part of the process. Initial payment details and options are provided during this stage.

5) Certificate of registration and enrollment completion: The School Registrar will issue a Certificate of Registration as proof that your child has been enrolled at Starland International School. This certificate confirms the student's enrollment and completes the formal admissions workflow for the Cebu Campus. Starting the new school year with the appropriate documents also aligns with the campus' open calendar for SY 2026–2027 (beginning July 22, 2026).

Enrollment requirements (local and foreign): Local learners require a PSA Birth Certificate, 1x1 and 2x2 photos (soft copy), and a Free Online Assessment via Google Meet, with additional items varying by grade. Foreign learners require the Birth Certificate, Report Card (translated if needed), Good Moral Certificate, Form 137, 1x1 and 2x2 photos (soft copy), and the Free Online Assessment via Google Meet; additional immigration documents may be requested. Additional documents possible include Passport copy, Visa & ACR, Special Study Permit (SSP), Guardian's Affidavit, and extra passport photos.

Reservation and payment information: There is no separate reservation fee. Enrollment can be confirmed by paying Php 7,000 for Kamias, ODL, foreigners, Caloocan, and Cebu, or Php 5,000 for Butuan, CDO, and Davao. Payment options include monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual plans, and the initial total can be calculated via the Enrollment Application Form.

Learning modalities and timing note: The school offers several learning modalities (Face-to-Face, Online Distance Learning, Homeschooling, and Blended Learning) to accommodate different needs. The SY 2026–2027 start is scheduled for July 22, 2026, with learner orientation and diagnostic tests as part of the openings activities.
