Application Process

Applications for 2013 Admission to Pathlight
(Updated 12 Apr 2012)

For Preparatory and Primary 1 Placements in Pathlight

  • Parents applying for Pathlight’s Preparatory and Primary 1 programmes are advised to send in their completed applications to school before 1 June 2012. Eligible applications will be called for the School’s first Screening Assessments from mid-June, according to number of vacancies available.

  • Parents who send in applications after 1 June 2012 will have their applications processed for later phases of the School Screening Assessments, which will be subject to available vacancies.

For Other Levels (Please note that the maximum age for admission is 14 years old)

  • Parents applying for other levels in Pathlight’s Primary and Secondary programmes, please submit your applications to the school as soon as they are completed.

  • School Screening Assessments for various levels will be scheduled from July – October 2012, if there are available vacancies in these levels.

Parents to Note:

Please note that submission of an application does not guarantee a place for your child in Pathlight. Admission will still depend on various factors which include the outcome of School Screening Assessments by Pathlight’s psychologists and educators, a holistic review by our Admissions & Review Committee, availability of sufficient physical and teaching resources, class suitability and overall school capacity.
