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 1. Parents begin by completing the online registration form on the TH School website, calling the admissions hotline, or visiting the campus in person to register their child. After the form is received, an Admissions Officer will contact the parents. 2. The school arranges an entrance assessment, which can be done either online or on campus. For Early Years, children join an age-appropriate play-based interview in English with the Kindergarten Principal. For primary, students take Maths and English tests and have an English interview, combined with a review of previous school records. For Lower and Upper Secondary, students complete a CAT4 cognitive test, an English writing task and an English interview, with results considered alongside prior academic performance. Before the assessment date, parents are to email required documents. 3. Within five working days of the assessment, if the school has received complete documentation, TH School informs parents of the results. If the student meets requirements and a place is available, the school issues an offer letter by email. In some cases, this may be a conditional offer with specific recommendations to support the student’s learning. Class placement is made according to year of birth, although a student may occasionally be placed in a lower grade where prior performance or English level suggests this is more appropriate. If classes are full, the student may be placed on a waiting list or invited to re-apply after 3–6 months if entry requirements are not yet met. 4. Parents confirm acceptance of the offer by carefully reading the conditions in the offer letter and paying the required enrollment and registration fees. The school then guides families through the next steps, including submitting original versions of previous report cards, a certified copy of the birth certificate or passport, a 4×6 portrait photo and (for Grade 10 entry) the lower secondary graduation certificate. At this stage, families also follow the school’s tuition-fee payment schedule for the upcoming school year. 5. Before the official first day of classes, new students and their parents are invited to attend an orientation day at the campus. Families will receive practical guidance about daily routines, meet key teachers and staff, and have time to become familiar with classrooms and shared spaces. The school also provides student uniforms and beginning-of-year stationery to help children prepare for the start of term.
