Admissions

Admissions
1. Book an appointment and school tour. Parents begin by scheduling a meeting with the admissions officer and taking a guided tour of HASIS. During this visit, basic details about the student and family are collected to establish early context for the application. This initial step sets the tone for the ongoing discussion about fit and next steps.

2. Submit the Application Form. After the initial visit, parents complete the school's admission form at the Admissions Office. The submission formalizes the intent to enroll and kicks off the documentation trail for review. This step is typically followed by the collection of supporting documents.

3. Provide Required Documents. Prepare copies of the student's and both parents' passports or IDs, the birth certificate, a recent school report (attested with school stamp), vaccination records, and passport-sized photos. These documents support verification of identity, age eligibility, and prior academic history. Submitting complete documentation helps avoid delays in the review process.

4. Parent Interview. Non OLNG parents are invited to an admissions interview. The interview discusses school fees, parent and school responsibilities, and pre-entry assessments for the student. The interview also addresses any learning needs and how HASIS can support them. This step helps align expectations and clarify constraints before a decision is made.

5. Student Assessment. Students may be asked to complete an entrance assessment in English and Mathematics. The assessment results are reviewed by the relevant Head of Department and the outcomes are communicated to parents. This assessment informs whether the student can be accepted and what support might be required.

6. Application Review. The Learning and Wellbeing Team, in partnership with the Admissions Team, reviews all documents and assessment results. The goal is to determine whether the student can be accepted and to identify any additional support needs. Decisions are made based on the review and in relation to HASIS's program capacity and standards.

7. Enrollment Confirmation from School and MOE. When all aspects of the enrolment are completed according to the Ministry of Education requirements, parents are notified of start dates. This confirmation formalizes the student's place and outlines the administrative steps before the first day.

8. Orientation and Start of School. HASIS provides details about the student's first day, timetable, and start-day procedures. Orientation ensures families understand routines, transport arrangements (if applicable), and classroom expectations. This final step marks the transition from application to active enrollment.

Scholarships
There is no publicly published information indicating that HASIS offers scholarships.

Waitlist
HASIS does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system on its admissions pages.
