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 arrange 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 placed back on the waiting list. However, the school will send a reply form every year to confirm whether applicants still wish to remain on the waiting list. If parents wish to continue waiting, they should return the reply form on time so that the school can keep their application records; otherwise, the application will be cancelled. For parents of new students, a meeting is usually held in July or August. The meeting covers the following topics: introduction to the “Admission Rules” and the school curriculum; assistance for new students in adapting to school life and the school’s arrangements; requirements and procedures for applying for financial aid; and answers to parents’ questions.
