Admissions

Admissions
1. Apply to join the Wells community. Families may submit the Student Application Form either by visiting the campus in person or by downloading and emailing the completed form to the respective campus. Signatures must still be provided on-site for emailed submissions.

2. Schedule a time for testing. Students applying for Grade 1 or 2 complete a paper-based assessment evaluating foundational academic skills. Those applying to Grades 3–12 undertake several components: DORA (Diagnostic Online Reading Assessment), ALEKS (math assessment), a writing sample, and a personal interview.

3. Submit official documents. Once a student is accepted, families must provide documentation including passport copies (student and parents), recent academic reports, medical check-up records, ID photos, and any additional paperwork requested by the school. Thai nationals must also provide a house registration copy.

4. Pay school fees. Before registration can proceed, families must pay all applicable fees such as tuition, enrollment, uniforms, and any additional charges for ESL or after-school programs as needed.

5. Register for classes. Upon confirmation of payment, students will be issued class schedules, basic supplies, and a student-parent handbook. This step finalizes enrollment and allows students to begin attending classes.
