Admissions Policy

Procedures and Policy

Thank you for your interest in the International Section of the Korean International School. Please read the following information before you complete your application form.
For a school tour, please contact Ms Jenny Choi on +85225695500 or at jchoi@kis.edu.hk to make an appointment.

In addition to the completed application form, the following documents are required:

• A completed application form
• One passport size photo of your child
• Copies of school reports from the last two years (where applicable)
• ID document or passport copy of parents and students

A reference from the current school will be requested for applicants from Years 4 -13

It is important that all relevant documentation regarding academic competence, emotional and social needs are provided with the application form. This is necessary for the school to ensure the needs of all applicants can be met within the International Section. If this information has not been made available at the time of admission the school reserves the right to withdraw the place, which is based on the internal assessment that the individual needs cannot be met.

The applications are processed according to the date the application form and accompanying documents are received. A letter acknowledging receipt of the application will be issued and the child placed on the waiting list. Priority is given to siblings and therefore the position on the waiting list can change. Parents are encouraged to inform Ms Jenny Choi at jchoi@kis.edu.hk of any change in their information.
