Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Step 1: Gather Information Parents begin by learning about JIS through the school’s published materials, online information, consultations with the admissions office, or direct visits. This includes understanding the learning environment, curriculum options (e.g., Japanese, Cambridge and linked programmes), teaching methods, staff, facilities, and financial policies before applying. 2. Step 2: Submit a Registration Form Parents must complete the online registration form on the school’s website. This form asks for details such as the student’s name, birthdate, current class, and parent contact information. 3. Step 3: Pay the Registration Fee After registering, parents are required to pay a registration fee of 5,000,000 VND per student. The fee is transferred to the school’s designated bank account. 4. Step 4: Schedule the Admissions Interview/Test Once the registration fee is confirmed, the admissions office schedules a selection interview or test session. These are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with different time slots for Kindergarten versus Primary/Secondary levels. 5. Step 5: Attend the Assessment Day On the day of admission, parents and students participate in the selection process. For Kindergarten, parents and children attend the interview together; for Primary, the child participates with a parent present for a psychological skills check. For Secondary (THCS/THPT), the student completes their assessment independently. 6. Step 6: Receive Results After the assessment, the school notifies families of the outcome. Parents are contacted with information about acceptance or further steps, and the admissions office remains available for follow-up support as needed.	Admissions Step 1: Submit Enrollment Application. A completed application form is required for each child, with an application fee payable. The Admissions team will contact parents within 5 working days of receiving the completed form and admissions fee. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The application form relates to the school year for which the pupil is applying, and submission of an application and payment of the application fee does not guarantee a place at the school. Step 2: Entrance Competency Assessment. An assessment will be scheduled as soon as possible. Parents will be notified via an initial email, followed by confirmation five days prior to the assessment. The assessment is divided into two parts, both of which will take place on the same day: Part 1: Digital assessments to determine the pupil's English, maths and reasoning abilities; Part 2: Interviews with parents and the pupil. Step 3: Enrolment. The Admissions team will contact parents within 10 working days to inform them of the assessment results and the school's decision. If results merit an offer of place, parents will receive a Letter of Acceptance for their child(ren) via email accompanied by a checklist of items which must be provided to confirm the applicant's place at the school. Step 4: Registration for Admission Counseling. Step 1: Enrol your child at Admission on the website and fill in the online form. Step 2: The school admits pupils who are prioritised and meet the admission conditions. Step 3: Pupils take the entrance exam. Step 4: Parents complete the admission procedures for pupils who have passed the entrance exam. Step 5: Pupils enter officially as notified by the school. Step 5: Required Documents and medical/admission criteria. Applicants must complete the previous year's academic programme before admission or complete the first-semester programme for those entering in the second semester.
