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. Visit and initial contact: Before starting the admission process, visit the school for a tour, or have an informal chat with the headteacher if you are outside the country. The school welcomes children from ages 2 to 18; the primary section is for ages up to 11 and secondary for ages 12 to 18. The academic year begins in August, and students may join at any time during the year. 2. Application and offer: To reserve a place, complete the application form and forward it to the school together with the non-refundable registration fee. The school reviews applications in line with age requirements and other criteria. An offer of a place is issued in writing, detailing the start date. 3. Admission interview: Final admission is subject to an interview with the headteacher. The interview assesses readiness and fit with the program. If the interview confirms suitability, placement is offered in writing with a start date. 4. Confirmation of placement: Upon successful completion of the admissions process, a letter from the headteacher confirms the placement and start date. This letter serves as official enrollment notification. Families should complete any remaining administrative steps and prepare for the term start.
Where a year group is full, new admissions will be placed on a waiting list. Waiting lists operate on a first come, first served basis. Priority may be given to siblings of children who have a place in the school.
