Admissions

Admissions
Step 1: Submit the online application; it must be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of 3,000 RMB. A School Recommendation Form must be completed by a teacher, counselor, or principal at the current school and emailed to the designated admissions address. Supporting documents are required as part of the initial submission.

Step 2: The admissions team reviews the online application and supporting documents. Additional documents may be requested if needed. Families are notified when the review is complete.

Step 3: Successful applicants are invited to participate in an admissions interview; for Early Childhood Center and Elementary School, the interview format is tailored for younger students, while Secondary School has its own interview path. An assessment may be conducted to evaluate English and mathematics skills. The admissions office coordinates scheduling with families.

Step 4: The final decision is communicated to families, with outcomes including acceptance, rejection, or placement on a waiting pool. If accepted, families receive the next steps to complete enrollment. Enrollment steps may include submitting any requested medical forms or other documentation before classes begin.

Waitlist
CBC Chengdu does not publish a waitlist or pool policy in publicly accessible materials. The absence of a published waiting pool detail is observable on the CBC Chengdu page. For comparison, Chengdu International School notes a waiting pool policy that dissolves at the end of the school year and requires re-application for the following year.
