Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial consultation: The Admissions team begins with an in-person meeting or an email-based discussion to understand your family's goals and the student's needs. Language support is available in Chinese, English, Korean, Russian, and Japanese to facilitate the conversation. This step helps determine program options (e.g., CSL in a Chinese program or MLWSP) and sets expectations for next steps, timelines, and required documents.

2. Submit application: Submit a completed application form (available from the admissions office or as a downloadable file) along with the required documents: the student's passport copy, birth certificate copy, guardian's passport copy with signature, school transcript with English or Chinese translations, any graduation certificate if applicable, two passport-sized photos, and a non-refundable application fee of 100 USD.

3. Application evaluation: Applicants from non-English-speaking backgrounds undergo an entrance examination covering English, Chinese, and Math. Applicants from English-speaking backgrounds have their academic history reviewed by the MLWSP Principal or a designated administrator, with testing in Chinese and Math and a comprehensive English assessment as part of the process.

4. Admission: If admissible, options depend on the chosen pathway. For Foreign Nationals Schools (BC system), admission to the CSL intensive year or the appropriate grade level is offered, with full tuition payment required to obtain the GW202 visa form and an official acceptance letter provided. For Elementary and Middle Schools (Chinese system), admission to the CSL intensive year or appropriate grade level is offered, again with full tuition payment required for the GW202 visa and an acceptance letter issued. For High Schools (MLWSP), admissible students may enter the Foundations Program, the Bridging Program, or the Full Academic Grade 10 Program, with the same requirement for full tuition payment to support the GW202 visa process and an acceptance letter issued.

5. Arrival and school registration: On arrival, families present the acceptance letter, an authenticated birth certificate, an authenticated guardian's notarized document if the guardian is not staying with the student in China, the Foreigner Medical Examination results, any required residency permits, and evidence that tuition has been paid.

6. Begin classes: Students start classes after completing registration and arrival formalities. Application Deadlines are Fall semester (August 22) or Spring semester (February 27), so families should plan accordingly to ensure placement for the desired term.

7. Fees: Upon admission, full payment of tuition is required to support visa documentation (GW202).
