4. Confirmation of Application
When all of the relevant application forms for each applicant in the family have been received, we will confirm your registration with us. For an applicant to be placed in a waiting pool or offered a place, all application documents must be submitted. For Term One enrolment, the first admissions decisions will be issued in February and on a rolling basis thereafter.
POST-APPLICATION
- Once you have registered with us, our Admissions Officer will contact you to let you know the status of your application.
- The child’s current or previous school will be contacted by a member of our school staff to carry out a routine reference check.
- If the report from the previous or current school is satisfactory, and depending upon the year group for which you are applying, you may be placed in one of our waiting pools. Waiting pools exist for most year groups so parents are encouraged to register with us as early as possible.
- Any required interview / assessment appointments will be scheduled after receiving and reviewing all application documents and school reference reports.
For all admissions enquiries, please contact our Admissions Officers, Ms. Shoko Unabara or Ms. Anna Saito at admissions@bst.ac.jp or submit the school tour form.
