Speak to Our Admissions Team

Joining Biss Puxi

We want to make sure that we’re the right school for your family and that, when your child joins our vibrant community, they have the best chance to fulfil their potential.

Application is easy and online, and we provide:

• A highly personalised admissions process to support and care for your family
• A chance to meet with the principal and members of our academic team
• Opportunities to chat with parents at our school, to hear from their perspectives

To help you learn more about us, we would love to show you around our beautiful campus. We understand that now more than ever, this isn’t possible for every family. If you are not able to visit us in person, we are happy to arrange a Virtual Discovery Meeting with our Admissions team depending on your location and availability.

As well as meeting with the Heads of School, discussing our curricula, MIT and Juilliard collaborations, we encourage prospective families to talk to those who are already on their education journey with us. This gives you an inside look at what lies ahead for you and your child.

Application is easy

• The process begins with a school tour, either on campus in person or virtually
• Children applying for an Early Years placement will join their peers for an in-class assessment
• Families meet with the school head (Primary and Secondary)
• Parents meet with the Admissions team for the next steps

Step-By-Step Process

Thanks for considering BISS Puxi for your child. Here’s what you need to do next:

Step 1: Make an enquiry

Submit an online Enquiry form on our website, send us an email or give us a call to share information about your family and your child(ren).

Step 2: Discover the school

• We will provide a School Tour or organise a Virtual Discovery Meeting with our Admissions team - whatever works best for you.
• We will invite a member of our Senior Leadership Team, or a teacher from Early Years, Primary or Secondary (depending on which year group your child is in), so that you can get first-hand information about what your child can expect in BISS Puxi.
• You will also get to see our beautiful campus to help visualise your child in our school.

Step 3: Apply for a place

Complete and submit the application form along with supporting documents. Depending on your child’s age, further assessment and references may be required.

Step 4: Application review

Once your application is completed, it will be reviewed by the Head of School. We will contact you to let you know your admissions status and next steps.

Entry Requirements

Our admissions process is designed to get to know your child better and prepare them for entry into the school. Applications are taken throughout the year although spaces are subject to availability.

To help us get to know you better you may be asked to provide the following documents:

• Completed application form
• The last two years of school reports (in English if possible)
• Medical and passport documentation

You may also be asked to take part in an admissions assessment which could include:

• Age-appropriate online exam
• Interview with a senior member of the admissions team

Places are limited, so we always encourage parents to apply early to ensure space is available.

Our friendly admissions team will walk you through the entire process and answer all your questions along the way.
