3. Review

Once your online application is completed, it will be assessed by our admissions committee, taking into account all information provided.

We will contact you if any additional documents are required and inform you of the outcome as soon as we can.

4. Admission

If your application is successful*, we will contact you with an offer of a place for your child. To secure the place, we require a non-refundable enrolment deposit, which we set against the second semester tuition fees.

For more details of application fees, deposits, and tuition costs, see the Fees section of our website.

5. Welcome

Our team will provide you with all the necessary information (cafeteria, transport, school platforms, subject selection, visa compliance etc.) prior to the first day of school to ensure a smooth start for everyone.

*Chances for an admission vary across each grade. Should your child’s application be successful, but the grade applied for is at capacity, your child will be waitlisted. When a place becomes available, we will contact you immediately to complete the rest of the admission process.

 

OUR TEAM

 

Grade Placement

Children come to our school from a wide range of countries and schools. This table shows the equivalent class age and curriculum for different education systems.

Our aim is to make the application process as smooth as possible for families.

We operate a rolling admissions process, which means we accept applications throughout the year, and students may start school at any point in our academic year (subject to availability).

Our online application process takes a holistic approach, assessing each candidate individually by reviewing previous school records, references, student questionnaire answers, and standardised test scores. We also request additional information such as Educational Psychologist reports or English as an Additional Language (EAL) tests where relevant. This helps us gain a comprehensive understanding of each student, providing valuable insight into who they are today and how we can prepare them for the future.
