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. Families begin the process by completing the online enquiry and registration form. Parents provide contact details, relationship to the child, and the child’s information, including name, date of birth or expected delivery date, and gender. A preferred start date, level, and session (Half Day or Full Day) must also be indicated.
2. Parents then select the preferred campus. If a campus is hosting visits or video call tours, available slots can be scheduled directly through the form. If the desired campus is not hosting visits or if families wish to waitlist, they may indicate this by entering “Waitlist Us” in the remarks field.
3. Once a visit or tour is scheduled, the school confirms via email. Parents are advised to check junk or spam folders for this confirmation.
4. Corporate employees of Workplace campuses can provide their corporate email address when filling the form to receive priority assistance in the admissions process.
5. After the visit or enquiry, the admissions team follows up with next steps, which include placement availability, registration, and payment of fees or deposits.
The school operates a waitlist system. If a child is already enrolled, registered, or on a paid waitlist, the “Schedule a Slot” function is not available. Families wishing to waitlist must clearly note “Waitlist Us” in the remarks section of the form. The school then confirms waitlist placement and follows up when a space becomes available.
The school does not publicly disclose details of scholarships, eligibility, or application processes for preschool age groups. Contact the school directly to ask whether any financial assistance, grants, or scholarships exist for families enrolling at the campus.
