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. Applicant Admissions Enquiry: A short admissions form is required to receive the necessary information. Applications are processed on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Early application is strongly encouraged in order to guarantee space.
2. Visit and Knowledge Check: Prospective families are invited for a visit to the school to meet the admissions staff and discuss the curriculum and life at Brilliant Stars. All prospective students visit with their parents to take part in a friendly informal knowledge check. For international students, an online call is scheduled with a follow-up visit upon arrival. For School Only, parents/guardians of all school applicants provide current school records including transcripts and reports from the previous year, if applicable, and any psychological evaluations.
3. Admissions Decision: Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis. The admissions team informs families as soon as a decision is reached. Families may receive updates as decisions are finalized. Decisions are communicated directly by the admissions team.
Every year, a number of scholarships are offered for Brilliant Stars primary and secondary school students. Scholarships are awarded to students and families who demonstrate academic and character excellence. Scholarships are awarded and reviewed annually by our director.
