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. Enquiry and Initial Contact
Families begin by completing an online enquiry form or contacting the school’s admissions office directly to express interest. This allows the admissions team to provide programme information (International or Integrated), clarify entry requirements, and discuss grade placement options for the child.
2. Application Submission
Parents then submit a full application, including the completed form, previous school reports, a copy of the child’s passport or birth certificate, and health documentation. Applications are reviewed to ensure the child meets the eligibility criteria for the chosen year group.
3. Assessment and Interview
Eligible applicants are invited to take a placement test or interview appropriate to their grade level. This assessment helps determine academic readiness and language proficiency, ensuring a suitable placement within the school’s curriculum pathway.
4. Offer of Place and Enrolment Confirmation
Successful applicants receive an official offer letter confirming placement availability. Parents must then complete the registration process by paying the registration fee and deposit within the stated time frame to secure the place.
5. Orientation and Start of School
Before the academic year begins, enrolled families are invited to attend an orientation session. This provides students and parents with an introduction to school routines, teachers, and expectations to ensure a smooth transition into the school community.
The school does not publicly specify a formal wait-list or pool system. If a grade level is full when you apply, the school may advise you of availability at another grade or term, but no dedicated wait-list structure is described.
