Different schools have different admission processes. Some are done online, and others require you to go to the school physically. For many schools, the admission process is, as the name suggests – a process, and for many schools, it begins at the end of every academic year. This is when students are moving to the next class.

The end of an academic year is usually followed by an extended holiday, giving students and schools ample time to apply and accept students, respectively. Most schools typically have a deadline for when students can send in their applications. This is to give the school enough time to go through all the students’ applications and send out admission letters in good time.

The high school admission process is different for students. For example, if a school offers education for all students levels and moves from primary school to high school within the same institution. The transition should be easy, and you will not have to go through the admission process.

However, it is not the same for new students. New students have to go through a particular process required by the school to qualify for a spot. For example, new students who want to apply for high school admission at GIIS Noida should follow the process below;

  • Contact the school – if you are a new student, you should contact the school to inquire about the admission process and any other important information you want to know about the school.
  • Visit the school or book a virtual tour – It’s always essential to visit the school you are interested in to see the facilities and get a feel of the environment. The GIIS Noida campus tour also involves a counseling session and an assessment test to gauge a student’s knowledge.
  • Fill and submit the application form – you can do this online on the GIIS Noida website or go to the school’s administration office to get the form. Ensure that the information you give us is accurate and provide all the documents requested by the school. 
  • Pay term one fees – for an international school, the school fees structure at GIIS Noida is pretty affordable. The school fees however need to be paid before the beginning of every term. 

Many students advancing to high school are advised to begin their high school application process as early as the 7th grade. This, of course, depends on which school you want to attend and how stiff the competition is. Fortunately for you, the admission process at GIIS Noida is open for all students all year round.

However, the catch is the number of seats available. Many international schools usually have a limited number of seats available, so the earlier you start your application, the higher your chances of getting a spot in the school of your dreams.

Students who transfer from one GIIS school to another are given priority because they come from a similar educational background. The school also considers scholarship students and other international students to attend the school.

Besides starting the application early, you have to ensure that you meet the specific requirements wanted by a school. Always apply to schools that align with your academic record and career interests. If you are having trouble finding a school, ask for help from the adults in your life.

You can ask for help from your parents or the school counselor where you currently study. School counselors are the best to advise because they have more information about schools and will guide you through the whole application process.

Remember, high school is meant to prepare you for college, so take your time choosing the right school as per your academic and professional goals.
