Application process
Step 1 – Apply
We recommend applying two years prior to the start date. However, we continue to receive applications while places are available. There is no fee to complete an application.
Step 2 – Family meeting and video
If offered an interview, families are invited to submit a video of introduction and supply a school report prior to an enrolment interview. Interviews start in the first two terms of the year prior to the student’s start year; interviews last for about 30 minutes.
Please know that due to high demand, some applicants may miss out on an interview. Often boarding and/or affiliated families are interviewed first.
Step 3 – Offer of a place and acceptance
If a family receives an offer of a place, they have two weeks to accept the offer by making payment of the enrolment fee and returning a signed Admissions Agreement.
Fees
The annual fees schedule can be found here.
