We’re a selective school and ask every child to demonstrate the skills and knowledge to follow our curriculum. English is the language of communication in our classes and corridors, and we want all our students to feel comfortable and confident in their English fluency.

Your school enrolment journey starts with our welcoming admissions team. They’ll guide you through the process and answer any questions about our entry requirements.
