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 school visit or attend an information session.
Families are encouraged to schedule a campus visit to tour the facilities, meet the admissions team, and discuss the school’s programmes. This initial meeting helps parents understand the IB curriculum and determine if the school is a suitable fit for their child.
2. Submit the application form and required documents.
Parents must complete the HIS online application form and provide supporting documents, including copies of the student’s passport, recent school reports, and health records. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but families are advised to apply early as spaces are limited.
3. Attend an assessment and interview.
Applicants are invited for an age-appropriate academic assessment, which may include English reading, writing, and comprehension tasks. Older students also attend an interview or classroom visit to help the school evaluate learning readiness and placement. An assessment fee applies at this stage.
4. Receive an offer and confirm enrolment.
Successful applicants receive a formal offer letter outlining the placement and required fees. Parents confirm acceptance by paying the enrolment fee and the refundable security deposit, which secures the student’s place.
5. Pay tuition fees and prepare for school entry.
Families select a payment plan (annual, semester, or quarterly) and settle tuition fees before the start of the term. The admissions office assists with final arrangements such as transportation registration, uniforms, and orientation schedules before the first day of school.
HIS operates a waitlist system for year levels that have reached capacity. Applicants placed on the waitlist are contacted as soon as a vacancy arises, and admissions are considered on a rolling basis. The school does not operate a formal pool or ranking system; placement depends on available space and suitability following assessment.
