Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial Enquiry
Parents begin the process by submitting an online enquiry form or contacting the Admissions Office directly. The school then provides information on programmes, age placement, and availability. Families may also request an individual consultation with the Admissions team to understand curriculum pathways (IB or Bilingual). This stage helps determine the appropriate grade level and any support needs.

2. School Tour and Consultation
Parents are encouraged to visit the campus for a guided tour. During the tour, families meet academic leaders who explain the learning environment, curriculum structures, and student support systems. The team also reviews previous school records or background information provided by the family. This stage helps parents understand whether the programme aligns with their child’s needs.

3. Submission of Application Documents
Families complete the digital Enrolment Application Form and submit required documents, including previous school reports (if applicable), identification documents, and photographs. Medical records, including immunisation history for Primary students, are also required. All documents may be submitted online or directly to the Admissions Office. The school reviews the documentation to confirm eligibility for the selected programme.

4. Placement Test
Students complete an age-appropriate placement test assessing English skills and academic readiness. The test fee must be paid before testing, and results are valid for six months. Placement testing helps determine whether the IB or Bilingual pathway is suitable for the student. Some students may require follow-up interviews or additional assessments based on their results.

5. Offer Letter and Acceptance
If the student meets entry requirements and a place is available, the school issues an Offer Letter. Parents then confirm acceptance by returning the signed Offer Letter and completing any outstanding documentation. Required fees—such as the enrolment fee, security deposit, and first instalment of tuition—must be paid to secure the place. If a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) or EAL support is required, the financial arrangements for those provisions are also finalised at this stage.

Scholarships
The school includes a Scholarships section in its admissions menu, but it does not publicly publish details regarding scholarship criteria, application procedures, or eligibility on its website or in its admissions or fee handbooks. No specific academic, merit-based, or financial-aid scholarship structure is described. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose detailed information about scholarships at this time.

Waitlist
Westlink International School Hanoi operates a waitlist system when a grade level or programme is full. Families may choose to join the waitlist if no immediate place is available. Students on the waitlist are contacted in order when a place opens, based on availability and completion of admissions requirements. The school does not describe a broader pool or lottery system beyond this standard waitlist process.
