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. Complete the Application Form
Parents begin by submitting the school’s official online application form and providing supporting documentation such as birth certificate, previous academic transcripts, health records and photographs. The application fee is required before the screening process can be scheduled.
2. Screening, Assessment & Placement
Applicants to the International Programme undergo assessments in English and mathematics; for those applying to the Integrated Programme, placement tests and age-based screening determine the most suitable year group. Class size limits and year-group availability are taken into account during this step.
3. Decision & Offer Letter
Once screening is complete and contingent on space being available, the school issues a formal offer. If the relevant year group is full, the applicant may be placed on a waitlist until a vacancy opens.
4. Enrollment and Payment
Upon being offered a place, parents accept the offer, sign the required documents, and pay the required deposit or tuition fee according to the school’s billing schedule before the student begins.
5. Orientation & Final Placement
New students are placed in the appropriate class and participate in any orientation activities; older students may have placement interviews to ensure the correct curriculum track is selected.
