The completed form and documents can be scanned and emailed to either [email protected] or [email protected] or delivered to the Business Development or Admissions Office.
Parents should note that the application process will not begin until the school has received the application form, complete documents and application fee. An application for a place at King Henry VIII College does not constitute an offer of a place.

ENTRANCE ASSESSMENTS

Once the application form and documents have been received and processed, the applicant will be invited for an entrance assessment and references from current and previous schools will be sought, if applicable.
Entrance assessment by appointment will help to evaluate the current level of English proficiency of an applicant in an age-appropriate way, as well as his/her academic performance, extra-curricular interests and potential to thrive at
King Henry VIII College and to contribute to the School community. Applicant who lives outside Malaysia will be required to take relevant entrance assessment either at an authorised office or online, and is subjected to an interview.

SCHOOL'S DECISION

Following the entrance assessment, application will be reviewed by the academic team. The academic team will make an offer of place based upon the findings of the entrance assessment, interview, and the information shared in the application form.
Places for students who intend to enter Year 12 may be conditional until and unless official IGCSE or equivalent results are submitted.
In some cases, an application may be unsuccessful because the applicant has performed at a standard below what is necessary to access the curriculum effectively at KH8.

ACCEPTANCE OF A PLACE

In order to accept the offer, parents should complete and return the acceptance form to the Admissions Office, and pay up all the required fees stipulated in the Letter of Offer within the specified time frame.
