2026/27 entry- How to apply
- Multiple methods
- Results announced
- The application results will be sent to the applicants by mail before the end of December. Alternatively, about one month after a meeting with the parents, they will be informed of the decision regarding their application for admission.
- Interview
- 1 round(s) · Around November each year, interviews are scheduled for children and their parents who wish to enroll in the following academic year.The meetings are conducted in individual or group settings, with parents participating in discussions; teachers observe the children’s behavior during play.
Required documents
- Completed application form
- A copy of the child’s birth certificate
There is no limit to the number of application forms for admission that can be submitted. Parents may submit them in person or by mail; the school will not accept applications or required documents submitted via fax or email. **In-person submission:** Applications can be delivered to the desired school between 2 pm and 4 pm on Thursdays. After receiving the application materials, the school will assign each applicant a waiting number. Around October each year, “Notifications for Parents on Waiting List” will be sent out. Each school will schedule interviews according to the number of places available in the following academic year and the order of the waiting numbers. In other words, it is not guaranteed that the school will be able to meet with all the children and parents on the waiting list; those who do not receive an interview invitation will automatically be added back to the waiting list. Each year, the school will send out reply forms to check whether applicants on the waiting list still wish to continue waiting for a place. If parents still wish to remain on the list, they should return the reply forms on time to indicate their continued interest. Otherwise, the school’s records of these applicants will be deleted. Parents of newly enrolled children in kindergarten must complete the admission registration procedures at school during the “Unified Registration Period” (i.e., from January 7th to 9th, 2021, Thursday to Saturday). A meeting for new parents will be held in July or August, where the “Admission Rules” and the school curriculum will be introduced, information about the children’s adaptation to school life and the school’s arrangements will be provided, details on the conditions and procedures for applying for financial assistance will be explained, and parents’ questions will be answered.
