Step 1 — Consultation. The process begins with an admission consultation to help families choose a suitable educational program and understand the admission pathway. Parents provide their contact details to receive detailed guidance, and group consultations can be arranged if several families are applying together. During this stage, families are informed about the Academic Scholarship Program, including the possibility of scholarships that cover up to 100% of tuition; information is provided to help determine eligibility and the best program fit.

Step 2 — Entrance examination and admission requirements. After completing the admission form and receiving program guidance, the admissions team arranges an entrance examination for the child. The entrance test covers English, Mathematics, and Literature, and families may be asked to provide transcripts or related documents before and during the testing process. Some applicants may meet with the School Board as part of the evaluation before final admission decisions are issued; after the test, the leadership team provides feedback and the admissions team communicates next steps or additional guidance.

Step 3 — Enrollment. Upon admission approval, families prepare and submit the required documentation to complete the admission profile. Required items include a health certification and vaccination certificate (Preschool), a birth certificate copy (or notarized translation for foreigners), copies of parent IDs (and student IDs in later grades), the student's original transcript, and any relevant school transfer letters. Additional items may include prior school documentation and letters of recommendation; once documents are verified, enrollment is completed and a start date is confirmed.
