ADMISSIONS POLICY
PolicyChristian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) admits any qualified student without discrimination based on gender, race, national and ethnic origin, religion, or disability. CAPCL offers a rigorous program using English and Chinese as the languages of instruction. CAPCL uses the Alberta Program of Studies and is accredited with Alberta Education. Alberta Education requires that CAPCL maintains high academic standards and achievement. To maintain these high academic standards, CAPCL realizes that not all students would benefit from, or be successful in, the program that we offer. For the benefit of students in the School and in the interests of prospective students, CAPCL must be selective in its admissions and placement of students. Guidelines
In determining a student's admissions and placement at CAPCL, the Head of School will consider the following:
the student's admissions interview and assessment; the student's past educational performance and experience; the potential for the student to be successful in his/her future studies at CAPCL; and the grade in which the student is applying to enter
Students will not be accepted into a grade beyond 1 year above/below their age-appropriate level. An applicant, whose sibling attends CAPCL, will be given admission priority. Procedures
Interested students wishing to apply to CAPCL will complete and submit an Online Application Form. The application fee should be accompanied with the application form and required documentation. All applicants must attend an admissions interview and assessment. Further details are provided on the Online Application Form. Parents will be notified of the results by email. Overseas applicants may be granted conditional acceptance based upon previous student progress reports, but admissions interview and assessment will be required once the student reaches Hong Kong. Parents needing further information are encouraged to contact the Admissions office at admissions@capcl.edu.hk or (852) 2950 6326. Parents should also become familiar with the CAPCL Tuition and Fees, Individual Capital Note & Annual Capital Levy and Age Guidelines.
