Application Review
The Enrolments Team and Education Leadership Team review each application. Review times vary depending on the volume of applications and the grade level, but most families receive a decision within two to four weeks of completing their application.
What happens during review:
Some applicants may be invited to complete an English Language proficiency assessment. This helps determine what language support, if any, might be appropriate. The assessment does not affect admission decisions. It identifies the right level of EAL support so students receive appropriate help from the start.
Some families may be invited to a Family Meeting with the Education Leadership Team. The meeting is an informal conversation. The school wants to understand learning history, interests, and any support needs. Parents often find these meetings helpful for asking questions about classroom approaches, social integration, and what the first few weeks will look like.
The Admissions Team coordinates all arrangements and will contact you if either an assessment or meeting is required.
Receive Your Offer
Successful applicants receive an official Offer Letter from the Registrar and Enrolment Department. The letter includes:
- The grade level and programme offered
- The deadline for accepting the offer
- Instructions for paying the Enrolment Fee
This is a significant decision, and the Admissions Team is available to answer any final questions before you accept. If you need more time due to relocation logistics or pending decisions from other schools, contact the team to discuss your situation.
To confirm your child's place, pay the Enrolment Fee of SGD 6,355 (inclusive of GST). This is a one-time fee, non-refundable and non-transferable.
After payment, you'll receive a Student Contract for review and acceptance, along with an invoice for first-semester tuition fees.
Enrolment Complete
Once all documentation is submitted and fees paid, enrolment is confirmed. You'll receive a Welcome Information pack with everything needed to prepare for the first day: uniform details, transport options, term dates, and orientation schedules.
Starting at a new school is a transition for the whole family.
