Admissions
When your child joins Brilliant Stars, your whole family is joining a vibrant community. Below is information about admission at Brilliant Stars as well as a schedule and outline of our admissions process.
Admissions Process
- Applicant Admissions Enquiry:
To initiate the process, we request a short admissions form (found below) to be filled out in order to receive the necessary information. Applications are processed on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Early application is strongly encouraged in order to guarantee space. - Visit and Knowledge Check:
Prospective families will then be invited for a visit to the school. This is a chance for families to meet the admissions staff to discuss the curriculum and get to know more about life at Brilliant Stars.
All prospective students are asked to visit the school with their parents to take part in a friendly informal knowledge check. For our international students, we schedule an online call with a follow-up visit upon arrival.
*For School Only: Brilliant Stars International School requests that parents/guardians of all school applicants provide current school records including transcripts and reports from the previous year, if applicable, and any psychological evaluations. - Admissions Decision:
Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis. We will inform you as soon as our admissions team has made a decision.
