Online Application is submitted – this is only complete when all required documents are provided, and the application fee is paid. Please note that we receive significantly more applications than places available, and therefore, there is no guarantee that an application will result in an offer of a place.

Grade 7 -  applications open 10 months before the start of the new academic year, usually in late February/early March, proceeding to the annual Open House. Admission Offers are confirmed by June, so we encourage early application submission. For those wanting to apply for admission during an academic year, please contact our Admissions Department for further information. 

Grade 8 & 9 - places in Grades 8 & 9 are dependent on withdrawals from Grades 7 & 8 the year before. As such, availability varies from year to year. After the Admissions Test & Interview, all applicants are placed in the Admissions Pool. Students will be reviewed when vacancy numbers have been confirmed. Refer to our Admissions Policy. Please be advised that we receive many applications for the relatively few places available.

Grade 10 Foundation Course - we strongly advise early applications as every year we have limited vacancies. The outcome of the applications will be communicated to parents from mid-September onwards. Please be advised that we receive many applications for the relatively few places available.

Grade 11 - places in Grade 11 are dependent on withdrawals from Grade 10 the year before. As such, availability varies from year to year. After the Admissions Test & Interview, all applicants are placed in the Admissions Pool. Students will be reviewed when vacancy numbers have been confirmed. Refer to our Admissions Policy.

The offers made are definite, irrespective of the GCE O'level results, applicable to local students, released in January of the coming year. Please be advised that we receive many applications for the relatively few places available.

The Admissions Office will contact parents to arrange a suitable time and date for the student to sit the Admissions Test and for an interview with a member of the School's Senior Leadership Team. 

Our Admissions Review Committee (chaired by the Director of Advancement, Communication & Admissions) on the advice of the academic staff conducts a holistic review of batches of applications. 

The Admissions Review Committee makes one of the following decisions

1. To offer a place,
2. To place the student in the Admissions Pool, or
3. To inform parents that the application is unsuccessful.

Our Admissions Office will inform parents of the outcome of the Admissions process as soon as a decision is made. If the applicant is offered a place, parents will be asked to confirm acceptance of the offer within the designated time (usually 2 weeks). 

For applicants who have been assessed during the admissions process to require additional language support via the EAL & English Language Acquisition Programme, this will be a condition of the offer.

Acceptance of a place is only confirmed upon payment of the Enrolment Fee and Security Deposit. The Enrolment Fee is non-refundable. Refund of the Security Deposit is subject to the notice period outlined on both the Online Application Form and Fees page of the website.

Payment of the Term 1 Tuition Fees must be received 12 weeks before the start of the Academic Year. Once paid, school fees are non-refundable.
When a student is transferring from one international school to another, and we receive notification from the current school of outstanding financial obligations, we will delay the student’s admission until a satisfactory arrangement to settle the account has been made.
