Admission Procedures

How to Apply

Our enrolment process is designed to ensure transparency, safety, and readiness for both students and families before formal boarding commences.

Step One — Submit an Enquiry
- Families express interest via our contact page, email, or phone.
- Our team will respond with preliminary information and next steps.
Step Two — Visit Our Campus
- All prospective students must attend a day visit to our premises.

Step Three — Complete Application Form
- The application form collects essential information:
  - Student ID or birth certificate
  - School enrolment confirmation

  - Guardianship documentation (if applicable)
  - Other relevant personal details
- An application fee of $300 is required upon acceptance of the application form.
Step Four — Interview and Assessment

- This provides an opportunity to discuss the student's needs, expectations, and suitability for the Academy.
- A decision will be communicated after the interview.
Step Five — Offer and Acceptance
- Families receive a formal offer letter if the student is accepted.
- The following steps follow the offer:
  - Signing the enrolment agreement
  - Payment of deposit and first invoice
  - Booking orientation session
  - Planning the first night and arranging essentials (e.g., packing list, personal items)
Step Six — Welcoming and Settling In
