1. Step 1: Inquire & Apply. In PCA Seoul, the first step is to complete the Online Application Form. This action starts the admissions process and places your family into the formal sequence of steps. The apply portal is accessible via the Apply Now option on the admissions page.

2. Step 2: Recommendations. You should request a Teacher Recommendation as part of the application. An optional Church Leader Recommendation is highly encouraged. This step helps the Admissions Committee assess character and community involvement.

4. Step 4: Interview. Schedule and attend a Family Interview with the Admissions Committee. The interview provides an opportunity for families to discuss fit, expectations, and questions. It is part of the formal evaluation used by the school to determine placement.

5. Step 5: Decision. After completing the prior steps, you will receive the official Acceptance Letter. The decision communicates whether a place has been offered for the requested grade level. This is the milestone before enrollment proceeds.

No formal PCA Korea scholarship program is described in the available admissions content.
