In the first phase, all students will submit an online application, academic report cards, and a character reference form, and attend an in-house Group Assessment.

In the second phase, selected students will be shortlisted based on initial academic reports and their Group Assessment results. Selected students and families will then be invited to attend an interview and submit testing results.
