1. Families begin by completing the official application form, which is available in English or Thai. An appointment with the Admissions Office should be arranged through the school’s contact channels. At this stage, families should prepare the required documentation, such as identification papers and academic records.
2. Prospective students undergo a placement test to determine their academic level. An interview is conducted with the student, and parents also meet with the Admissions Committee. This step helps ensure that the school understands the student’s background and needs.
3. Parents must submit the completed application form along with supporting documents. For Thai students, this includes copies of the birth certificate, house registration, transcript, and a medical certificate. Non-Thai students must also provide passport copies, a valid visa or work permit of the parent, proof of legal status, and a receipt of escrow deposit.
4. Upon successful assessment and acceptance, families finalize registration through the Finance Office. This step involves paying the required entrance fees, deposits, and development fees as outlined in the fee schedule.
5. New students attend an orientation program where they are introduced to the school environment and paired with a student buddy. Middle and High School students also receive guidance on using the school’s e-learning systems. This process helps students settle smoothly into their new school life.
