Admissions

The academic year begins in early September and ends at the end of June.

All our high schools operate on a semester system. First semester is from September to January, and second semester is from February to June. High school students may start in September or February.

Elementary and middle school students may start in September (full year registration only) or January (half year or full year.)

Students should apply at least 3-4 months before their desired start date to allow sufficient time to receive a study permit.
