Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Make an enquiry First, you contact the school’s admissions team via their online enquiry form, phone or email.

Non-Vietnamese applicants or expatriates will also need passport/visa. Along with the application, you’ll need to pay the application fee. 4. Entrance assessment (and possibly interview) After documents are accepted, your child will be invited to an age-appropriate entrance assessment. For younger ages this may involve play-based assessment; older children take tests appropriate to their level. An interview with a senior staff member helps the school understand academic level and personal needs. 5. Offer and acceptance If the assessment is successful and there is a place available, the school will offer a place normally within five days of application and assessment. You then accept the offer and pay the non-refundable registration fee to secure the place. 6.
