The assessment reflects Finnish curriculum standards and is based on a holistic evaluation of the applicant’s learning. The assessment allows us to understand each individual’s learning needs and personal qualities (academic ability, emotional and behavioral patterns).
- Grade 1: Applicants will do a basic test of motor social skills and reading comprehension.
- Grades 2 - 12: Applicants will be tested in reading, writing and spoken English as well as mathematical proficiency. In Grades 6 – 10, science is also tested. For international students, the assessment is conducted in English. For Vietnamese students who apply for either international or bilingual programme, the assessment is conducted in both Vietnamese and English.

If the applicant is qualified, the school will send an email to parents to announce the results and inform about the enrolment process within 5 - 10 working days after the entrance assessment.
A Security Deposit Fee needs to be paid (within 14 working days after the letter of offer is sent) to guarantee a place for the student. The security deposit fee must be paid via bank transfer or by cash at the Finance Department.
