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. Document Preparation
Parents prepare scans of all required documents: recent school reports (last 2 years), birth certificate, parents’ and student passports, photos, and for dual nationals, Thai ID and house registration. Existing forms, such as the Application Agreement and doctor’s letter, must be completed and uploaded online.
2. Online Submission
Applications must be submitted through the school’s online portal (non-Thai or Thai national streams), with all documents uploaded and the application fee paid. The process begins with login/registration and proceeds only when files are complete.
3. Assessment & Review
The admissions team reviews all application materials. Depending on age and needs, students may undergo assessments such as EAL for English proficiency or readiness checks for early years. Teacher recommendations and writing samples are also required.
4. Decision & Offer
Based on assessments, past school reports, recommendations, and available space, a formal offer letter is issued by the Head of School. A THB 50,000 acceptance fee (deposit) is due once the offer is accepted.
5. Enrollment
Upon receipt of the signed offer letter, deposit, and (for non-Thai students) valid non-immigrant visa documents, student enrollment is confirmed.
The school does maintain a waiting pool when year groups are full. Placement on the waitlist depends on factors such as availability, siblings at the school, returning students, date of application, and the need for support services.
