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. Attend a private tour or open house, if possible. This is strongly encouraged so families can visit the campus, observe learning environments, and meet academic leaders and staff in person.
2. Prepare and submit required documents. Applicants need to complete the official application form and submit supporting documents, which typically include passports/ID, transcripts, health records, photos, and any ELL testing results.
3. Application review and assessment. The school evaluates the submitted documentation and may request interviews, placement tests, or WIDA assessments to determine EAL eligibility before making an admission decision.
4. Receive offer and complete payment. Once a formal offer is issued, required deposits, registration fees, and the chosen campus development fund option must be paid to secure admission.
The school does not publicly disclose a formal waitlist or admission pool system.
