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) Application Submission
Families begin the process by completing the online application form and submitting all required documents, including the student’s past three years of report cards, a teacher recommendation form, health records, and passport copies. An Application & Assessment Fee must be paid before testing.
2) Entrance Assessment
Applicants complete assessments in English (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and Mathematics. These evaluations help determine readiness for the grade level and appropriate English language placement. All testing and document reviews are handled by the school’s Admissions Committee.
3) Review by the Admissions Committee
The Admissions Committee reviews academic history, assessment results, and recommendations to evaluate each applicant holistically. Decisions are based on test performance, classroom readiness, and available space in the requested grade level.
4) Admission Decision and Offer
Families are notified of the admission decision within seven working days after the assessment and review process. Successful applicants receive an Acceptance Letter signed by the Principal.
5) Enrollment Confirmation and Payment
Parents must pay the Enrollment Fee within five working days of receiving the acceptance letter to secure the student’s place. Tuition and other fees must be paid before the student’s first day of school.
The school’s official website does not mention a waitlist or pool system. Admissions decisions are made based on available space in each grade at the time of application review.
The school’s website does not provide information about scholarships or financial aid programs.
