A student who is unable to meet the entrance requirements of the school will be denied admission.

A student applying from outside of Hong Kong may be accepted conditionally on the strength of his /her supporting documents. However, in such a case an interview must be scheduled by the parent/guardian as soon as possible upon arrival in Hong Kong to ensure the application process is completed expeditiously.

An interview and an entrance examination will be scheduled subject to the following conditions:
  1. The application documents submitted are indicative of the student’s ability to meet CAIS entrance requirements.

5.      Payment of Tuition Deposit:

Submission of a tuition deposit as per the Schedule of Fees is required upon notification of acceptance. Since student registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, it is advisable to pay the tuition deposit as soon as possible in order to ensure that a seat is held for the student.
