• Current high school students (grades 10-12) with excellent overall qualities and good listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English.
• Open to all arts and science students and admission is based on merit according to batch.

The ability to communicate in English at a high level is necessary for success in the program. The admissions committee will be able to assess an applicant’s writing abilities through their academic achievement, standardized test results and written essay.

For applicants whose secondary school instruction language is not English or who reside in a country/region where English is not the official language, submission of TOEFL or IELTS test scores may prove helpful to the admissions committee. However, these exams are not required for admission.

In order to ensure the quality of teaching, we expect to enroll about 60 students in each session.
