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. Initial admissions consultation. Admissions consultation is offered in Korean, with Ms. Yang Yujin, as the designated contact for prospective students. Parents may reach out by phone at 010-4582-1870 to discuss eligibility and admission options. The school also publishes an admissions brochure for the new academic year, which outlines the overall process and requirements.
2. Entrance examination and language assessment. An external Huace examination is scheduled to be held on August 21 at the school, which is part of the admissions considerations for applicants. This provides an opportunity to assess language and academic readiness as part of the admissions process.
3. On-campus interview and submission of enrollment documents. Because class spots are limited, new students and transferring students are required to attend an on-campus interview and submit enrollment materials to confirm eligibility to enroll before paying enrollment fees and tuition. The language on the admissions notice emphasizes completing both steps prior to payment once eligibility is confirmed.
4. Enrollment confirmation and payment. After eligibility is confirmed, families must pay the enrollment fee and tuition to finalize enrollment. The notice specifies that enrollment funds should be paid only after the on-campus interview and submission of enrollment documents have established eligibility. Contact details and the admissions notice indicate where and how to complete this step. Korean nationality admission is possible, as noted in the admissions contact information.
There is no publicly published waitlist or pool system for Overseas Chinese High School Busan on the school's site. The admissions notices emphasize limited class capacity and the requirement of an on-campus interview plus submission of enrollment documents before enrollment, but do not describe a formal waitlist or waiting pool. This means there is no documented waitlist process in the accessible materials.
No scholarships are publicly described on the school's site or in the published admissions notices. The admissions pages focus on interview, document submission, and enrollment steps, with no mention of scholarship programs or financial aid. Prospective families seeking scholarship opportunities should contact the admissions office for current information.
