1. There are two ways the school assists admission seekers. For existing parents wishing to enrol additional children, notices on the new academic year's enrolment policy are issued well in advance. New parents can apply through a formal application form at the school admin office or via the online enrollment process. A guided walk-through of classrooms and facilities is offered to help families become comfortable before enrolling, and the medium of instruction is English with language support available as needed. 2. Placement and testing: A placement interview is arranged for all classes as needed. Document verification and endorsement are carried out for each admission following the Ministry of Education guidelines. The school conducts a placement test, with the method varying by age and class. The enrolment memo to parents confirms successful enrolment and details required payments such as the admission fee and refundable deposit. 3. Pre-enrolment and orientation: Before the official start of the academic year, a meeting with parents explains the school's system and expectations. On the first academic day, teachers welcome playschool and primary students with activities that provide individual attention, followed by an orientation program for the primary grades. 4.
