Applications for student enrolment may be submitted at any time and, as space is limited, it is recommended that parents register their children as far in advance as possible to ensure acceptance. Doing so also assists in planning and budgeting for the future needs of the school. Please contact the school office should you require any additional information or assistance in obtaining and/or completing the registration form.
Our international students are a welcome addition to our school and will receive support and encouragement from teachers, staff, and the school community. A program coordinator at the school serves as a link between the teachers, students, and families. We recommend 4 or 6 month terms for most Homestay students. Full year programs are available to those who are mature and independent and have some international experience. We also offer customized programs to allow for short term stays ranging from a few days to weeks.
