The student body has representation from every county in the country. This is ensured through a rigorous and transparent admissions process.
The admissions process opens in March when application forms are sent out across the country and ends in December when the final list of selected students is generated. Every year we aim for a maximum of 200 students, four from each county, who are selected out of thousands of applications.
What then makes us different from the notable institutions offering the same curriculum?
They believe in inclusion and our diversity is beyond cultural, they have within their student body children with special needs such as the mobility challenged and children with albinism, plus we are planning to facilitate those who are challenged both audibly and visually.

Admission is evaluated on the following criteria:
- Academic Excellence
