Admissions Policy
At elc we provide an environment which is not only conducive to learning and character building, but where students are prepared for the responsibilities, opportunities and challenges of adulthood.
Eligibility
Students and parents must be willing to accept and abide by the School ethos and the guidelines set out in the elc Terms & Conditions of Enrolment and the Student & Parent Handbook.
elc International School does not provide services or support for English as an Additional Language (EAL) or English as a Second Language (ESL).
While elc would like to be able to provide education for all groups of children, in reality this is simply not possible. Children with special educational needs require schools that have the infrastructure and qualified staff in place to teach appropriately. Since elc has no special learning support unit [SEN] for students with either learning, physical and/or behavioural difficulties, we are not adequately equipped or qualified to provide such support.
Admission Procedure
- A Parent must complete the Admission Form available at the School website – SB Campus Application Form, CJ Campus Application Form.
- As an official acknowledgement, an email will be sent upon receipt of the Admission Form.
- A visit to the School campus and a meeting to discuss and clarify the admission process is recommended and encouraged.
- An Entrance assessment will be arranged; upon request.
- Post-assessment feedback will be sent via email between 5 to 7 working days.
Assessment Fee
With effect from 1 September 2026, all applicants wishing to sit the entrance assessment will be required to pay a non-refundable assessment fee of RM250 prior to the assessment being administered.
- Successful Enrolment
If a student is offered admission to either campus and the offer is accepted, the RM250 assessment fee will be credited towards the RM1,000 Application Fee, leaving a balance of RM750 payable. - Offer Declined
If a student is offered admission but the offer is declined by the parent(s)/guardian(s), the RM250 assessment fee is non-refundable. - Reassessment
Should a student wish to undergo a reassessment for admission at a later date, a new RM250 assessment fee will be payable. The same terms outlined in Points 1 and 2 will apply.
Please note that assessment fees paid on multiple occasions for the same student are not cumulative. For example, if a family has paid RM250 on two separate occasions (RM500 in total) for the same student, only RM250 will be credited towards the Application Fee upon enrolment. The maximum credit applied will be RM250. - Applicability
This assessment fee policy applies to all applicants from Early Years through to Year 10.
Your child may be
- Offered admission, if he/she passes the assessment successfully and if there is available space in the appropriate year group
- Placed on the waitlist, if the year group is at full capacity
- Re-assessed, if the first assessment is unsuccessful and should the parent request, for a re-assessment. This will be done approximately 3-6 months after the first entrance assessment.
- Declined, if the educational/English language needs are not met in accordance with the School’s mainstream setting.
- elc believes in allowing every child an opportunity for assessment and enrolment.
- The final decision on the enrolment will be approved by the Admissions Selection Committee.
- Once the official School Registration documentation is finalised and payments made to secure your child’s place with the School, your child will be enrolled in the School.
- Prior to your child starting with elc, a meeting will be arranged between the parents and the CEO, or another senior member of staff as appointed by the CEO.
