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. Book a campus tour or open house (optional but encouraged).
Once your match is received, the Admissions team may offer to schedule a visit to the campus. You can tour the learning spaces, ask questions in person, and get a feel for the school day—either in-person or virtually.
2. Submit the online application and required documents.
You'll need to complete the Online Application Form and upload relevant documents such as school transcripts and reports. A one-time, non-refundable application fee must also be paid at this stage to proceed.
3. Participate in an interview and academic assessment.
Once the application is complete, the school will schedule an interview for both the parent(s) and the student. The student will also complete academic assessments, which may include a tailored English language evaluation to ensure the right level of support from the beginning.
4. Receive the admissions decision.
After interviews and assessments are completed, the school typically communicates a decision within 3–5 business days. The offer may be conditional based on year group or required support services.
5. Confirm your place and pay the required fees.
If a place is offered, you’ll need to accept it and make the payments listed in your invoice by the specified deadline.
6. Receive visa support (if applicable).
Once initial fees are received, the school will issue any required documents to support a student visa application (if needed). The admissions team will guide families through this step and help with preparations for starting at Prem.
There is no mention of a waitlist on the school's website.
