The purpose of our admission policy is to help you through the admission process effectively and help place your child in the appropriate class at The White School International.
To begin with, documentation which you need to submit with your application:
A copy of the student’s academic reports of the past two years (if admission is sought for Grade 5 & above)
Five recent passport size photographs
Filled application form
Medical records (if the child is on specific treatment )
Transfer Certificate from the previous school. (From Grade 2 onwards)
Once your application is received, the admission process will begin. Your child’s age will give the initial indication as to the appropriate class, and the aptitude test will either confirm this or lead to further assessment.
