Parent FAQ

Must parents accompany the child during the interview?

Typically, parents and children have separate sessions or a parent-child activity. Check the school's interview schedule and prepare your child for possible separation.

If my child's English is not fluent, is there still a chance?

The school uses English as the medium of instruction, so English proficiency is an advantage. Strengthen listening and speaking through English classes or daily conversation at home.
