Admission
As many students move from various curricula, prospective students are required to sit for an entrance examination. The school organizes an informal interview with the student which forms part of the overall assessment. Admission is at the school's discretion and the school's decision is final. However, unsuccessful applicants may apply again at a later date if they believe they will do better at the entrance examinations. [3]
