KGS International School (Hanoi)

Step 1: Submit Enrollment Application. A completed application form is required for each child, with an application fee payable. The Admissions team will contact parents within 5 working days of receiving the completed form and admissions fee. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The application form relates to the school year for which the pupil is applying, and submission of an application and payment of the application fee does not guarantee a place at the school.

Step 2: Entrance Competency Assessment. An assessment will be scheduled as soon as possible. Parents will be notified via an initial email, followed by confirmation five days prior to the assessment. The assessment is divided into two parts, both of which will take place on the same day: Part 1: Digital assessments to determine the pupil's English, maths and reasoning abilities; Part 2: Interviews with parents and the pupil.

Step 3: Enrolment. The Admissions team will contact parents within 10 working days to inform them of the assessment results and the school's decision. If results merit an offer of place, parents will receive a Letter of Acceptance for their child(ren) via email accompanied by a checklist of items which must be provided to confirm the applicant's place at the school.

Step 4: Registration for Admission Counseling. Step 1: Enrol your child at Admission on the website and fill in the online form. Step 2: The school admits pupils who are prioritised and meet the admission conditions. Step 3: Pupils take the entrance exam. Step 4: Parents complete the admission procedures for pupils who have passed the entrance exam. Step 5: Pupils enter officially as notified by the school.

Step 5: Required Documents and medical/admission criteria. Applicants must complete the previous year's academic programme before admission or complete the first-semester programme for those entering in the second semester. The student should not have an infectious disease or a dangerous congenital disease. The school's current support systems and facilities are unable to accommodate pupils with special needs.

There is no published formal waitlist or pool system for KGS Hanoi. Admissions are described as dependent on available slots and a priority-based process. The school sets class-size limits (Year 1–Year 2: 10–20 pupils per class; Year 3–Year 13: 24 pupils per class, with possible +/-10% adjustments). Admission priority is published and prioritizes certain groups before considering available slots.
