Admissions

Admissions
1. Check eligibility and key policies before you apply. WYIS admits only students who hold a foreign (non‑Chinese) passport — Chinese mainland citizens are not eligible — and applicants must meet age cutoffs (students must reach the grade's required age by September 30 of the enrollment year). ECC applicants must be toilet‑trained by entry. Parents should note that the school evaluates English proficiency and overall readiness as part of entry requirements.

2. Prepare and submit the online application and required documents. Complete the WYIS online application and the supplementary forms (school activities agreement, invoice preparation form, previous schools form, special support form, bus application if needed, and ECC‑specific forms where applicable). Gather and upload copies of the student's passport and current visa, both parents' passports and visas, vaccination record, and prior school records (two years minimum in English for Grade 2+; Grade 9/10+ applicants also need high‑school transcripts/credit documentation). Missing paperwork can delay assessment or enrollment, so use the application checklist in the school's application packet.

3. Schedule and attend the entrance assessment; pay the assessment fee. ECC applicants take a readiness interview (~30 minutes); students in Grade 1 and above take an English language assessment and readiness interview (1–2 hours) covering listening, speaking, reading and writing. The entrance assessment fee is 1,500 RMB; for some students the school may also use MAP or other evaluative tools and may recommend English Learning Support (ELS) placement that carries an additional fee if required. Be prepared for in‑person or online assessment arrangements and for the school to place a non‑native English speaker at a different grade level at the principal's discretion if appropriate.

4. Receive the admission decision and timeline. After assessment the admissions team will inform parents whether the student has been offered a place, denied, or placed into a waiting pool. The school's published timeline notes the school will advise applicants by mid‑June 2025 or within two weeks (whichever is later) in the cited document; WYIS also operates rolling admissions for most of the year (except Quarter 4), so timing can vary by application date. An offer of placement does not guarantee enrollment until enrollment steps and payments are completed.

5. Complete enrollment requirements to secure the place. To secure enrollment you must pay the non‑refundable enrollment fee (new student: 10,000 RMB; returning student: 5,000 RMB) — payment of this fee and the entrance assessment fee secures enrollment administratively, and the enrollment fee must typically be paid within two weeks of an offer to hold the seat. Parents must also submit the Student Medical Report (Part 1: medical history entered in PowerSchool; Part 2: physician's physical examination) and attend the required introduction meeting with the department principal before the child's start date. Tuition is due according to the invoice schedule and generally is payable before the first day of school; for returning students the re‑enrollment fee is due June 1 and the school will reserve the spot until August 1 when tuition becomes due. An offer will only convert to an active enrollment once all required documents and payments are complete.

6. Understand fees, payment rules, and refund/late‑payment policies. WYIS publishes annual tuition by grade (2025–26 examples: Foundations/Junior K mornings 86,000 RMB; ECC full days 134,000 RMB; Elementary (Grades 1–5) 204,000 RMB; Middle School (6–8) 214,000 RMB; High School (9–10) 216,000 RMB; High School (11–12) 219,000 RMB). Other published fees include the English Learning Support fee (if applicable) 20,000 RMB and entrance assessment 1,500 RMB. Late payments incur a 50 RMB per day penalty; if payments are more than 30 days past due a student may be excluded from classes and records (reports, transcripts, diplomas) can be withheld until obligations are cleared. Partial‑year tuition is typically charged by full quarter, and refunds are limited to remaining full quarters if formal withdrawal procedures are followed; enrollment fees are non‑refundable. Parents should review the full fees and refund policies on the school site and confirm their selected payment plan with the school finance office.

Waitlist
WYIS uses a waiting pool when an applicant meets the admission requirements but there is no space in the requested grade or program. Applicants who pass required assessments but cannot be placed immediately may be placed in this waiting pool; the pool is dissolved at the end of the school year and parents must re‑apply for consideration for the next year. The school publishes specific priority categories that may be offered places first when space becomes available: children of LifePlus staff, eligible siblings of current students, students currently attending other LifePlus international schools, and applicants with higher English proficiency. The school advises parents to consider alternative options while in the waiting pool and to keep in contact with Admissions for updates.
