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. Prepare and submit application documents.
Complete the MICS application form and submit it by email or postal mail to the Admissions Office with all required documents. These include the most recent 2–3 years of school reports (with grading key if not included), a recommendation form for Grade 7–12 applicants, passport copies for the student and applicable parents, and additional documents for Thai or dual-national students. A non-refundable processing fee of 1,500 THB per student must also be paid.
2. Admissions review and on-site testing.
The Admissions Office will confirm receipt of your application and arrange on-site testing once all Step 1 documents are received. Updated school records or transcripts issued after submission should be provided as soon as they are available.
3. Visa application.
After an acceptance letter is issued, apply for a Non-Immigrant ED visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate, or convert a visitor visa within Thailand. The visa must be valid for at least 21 days. Upon arrival in Thailand, the school is required to report the student’s residence to immigration within 24 hours.
4. Submit medical documents.
Before enrollment, provide completed medical forms (in English, signed and stamped by a medical provider) dated no more than 6 months prior to the start date. Both required forms must be submitted for the student to begin classes.
5. Starting at MICS.
On arrival, submit any remaining documents, purchase uniforms and materials, and arrange tuition payment. Tuition fees can be paid within three weeks of the term start by cash or bank transfer.
MICS does not publicly state that it operates a waitlist or pool system.
The school does not publicly disclose offering any scholarships or financial aid programs on its website.
