An application fee of HK$2,000 is an administrative fee that must be paid to initiate the application review and admission process. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The acceptance is based on student space availability during the student’s intended enrolment.

Review

Our Admissions Committee reviews all completed applications. We will contact you with the next steps once your application has been reviewed.

Priority

Priority is given to siblings and therefore the position on the waiting list can change. Parents are encouraged to inform the Admissions Team: admissions@kis.edu.hk of any change in their information.

Once we have identified a place for your child, our Admissions Team will contact you to arrange an assessment. 

The medium of instruction for the International Section is English and all applicants are required to complete an English assessment. Below are the tests required for Primary and Secondary students:

The final decision on acceptance and class allocation will be made by the Principal following the interview.

Acceptance Offer:

We will contact parents one – two weeks after the assessment. If we are able to offer your child a place (i.e. Acceptance Offer), the Admissions Team will contact you to provide further information regarding our enrolment process.

If we are not able to offer your child a place at that time, your child’s application will go into the Waiting Pool.

Waiting Pool:

• If the applicant has completed all qualifications to be accepted to KIS. but the current ‘Year’ level has no vacancies, or if the applicant requires Learning Enhancement Services that are currently at capacity, the applicant will be placed on our waiting pool until an available space opens up.
• The applicant may stay on the waiting pool for a period of Six Months from the date of notification.
  Then the admissions department will issue you a letter to request a re-test and updated information to continue to stay on the waiting pool for another year.
• If you choose not to and would like to still enrol in KIS at a later date, you must go through the application process again.
• The waiting pool does not operate on a first come first serve basis. There are specific criteria the admission team uses to decide which student will fill up an open spot. Such criteria include gender, sibling priority, nationality or learning enhancement needs.
