HWA International School welcomes applications from students with different educational backgrounds. Grade placement considers previous schooling and academic background, rather than age alone.
Our Admissions Team reviews each application and the required supporting documents before confirming the grade offered.
Select your intended academic year and refer to your child’s date of birth in the table below.
