Admissions Process

International students follow the same admissions process as local students. Consultations and support are provided in English, Chinese, and Korean. Assessments and interviews can be arranged online for overseas families. 

In order to celebrate cultural diversity, academic achievements, and leadership, Branksome Hall Asia provides an opportunity for a partially funded, merit-based scholarship for international applicants. The scholarship is open to any student not holding Korean citizenship/nationality and is applying for grades 6-11. 

Students awarded the scholarship will qualify for a reduction of 30% of the tuition and boarding fees (excluding meals). There is an application and selection process required to qualify.

After acceptance, the school will guide the family through the visa process. Most families can complete the whole process without the help of an agency.
