Admissions

Admissions
1. Online enlistment and exam scheduling: To begin the admissions process, you must fill out the ONLINE ELISTMENT FORM to schedule the admissions exam. It is advised to register using a desktop or laptop. After you submit, you should expect a confirmation via email or SMS confirming receipt of your initial information. This step initiates the testing phase and sets expectations for the next requirements.

2. Document validation and initial screening: You will be asked to proceed with testing and validation of several documents at the Guidance Office on the testing date. Bring the child's passport, the visa/residence card, the birth certificate (with English translation if not Filipino), and a recent report card. These documents are required for verification before testing proceeds. An initial check of documents happens before you enter the testing area.

3. Entrance exam day procedures and testing fee: On the day of the learner's entrance exam, you should report to the Guidance Office for validation of the testing schedule and to have passport data encoded; ask for Ms. Ma. Norelyn Cacay (School Counselor) for assistance. The Testing Fee of 5 OMR is paid at the Cashier's Office before testing begins. After the exam, the test results are communicated to you by email or SMS. This step completes the formal testing portion and moves you toward an interview if testing is successful.

4. Interview for transferees: All transferees are scheduled for an interview with the Department Head. The interview serves as a qualitative assessment of the student's fit with the school's philosophy and expectations. Preparing for this interview with supporting academic and personal information can be helpful. The outcome of the interview contributes to the overall acceptance decision.

5. Orientation for successful applicants: Students who pass the testing and interview steps will be scheduled for an orientation. The orientation covers school culture, routines, and expectations to help families transition smoothly. Attending this session is a prerequisite before enrollment can proceed.

6. Shortlisting and enrollment: After orientation, successful applicants enter the shortlisting phase for Registration/Enrollment. This step determines final enrollment status and the next administrative steps, such as submitting any outstanding documents or forms. Final enrollment is contingent on completing all prior steps and meeting school requirements.
