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. Begin by completing the registration form for your child, which starts their admissions journey from Kindergarten through High School. During this step, you provide basic family and student information so the school can begin processing your inquiry and contact you with next steps. Registration is the official first step that opens access to assessment scheduling and pathway guidance.
2. Once registration is submitted, students are scheduled for placement testing appropriate to their age level. For Kindergarten, this involves a psychological and physical survey, while Primary and Secondary applicants sit tests in English, Vietnamese and Mathematics. Following assessment, the school and family discuss the most suitable learning pathway.
3. After tests and pathway decisions, families complete the formal admissions application, providing required documentation and education history. This includes submitting identification, academic records and any other forms requested by the admissions office. At this stage, families also handle payment of fees such as registration and any deposits. Upon acceptance, the school confirms enrolment and provides information about start dates and next administrative steps.
The school does not publicly disclose information on any existing waitlist system.
