Admissions

Admissions
1. Review admission options and timelines. The IBSH Admissions Information section provides an English Admission Guide (updated June 4, 2025) and a bilingual version, along with links to admission materials and upcoming timelines. This step helps families understand eligibility criteria, required documents, and the overall process before applying. For the latest cycle, you'll find references to the 1st Semester and 2nd Semester admission information here.

2. Prepare and submit application documents. For the 1st Semester of the 2025–2026 academic year, applicants complete the online application form and book a submission appointment; the process includes an application form to download, and a Google Form for applicant information and submission appointment (open June 10–June 30). A Letter of Authorization may also be required as part of the submission package. For the 2nd Semester, similar documents exist with a separate submission window (Dec 24–Jan 2).

3. Complete the admissions assessment if required. Admissions testing is scheduled for applicants under certain eligibility Article categories, with distinct tests for Article III and Article V applicants (dates include July 15 and July 22, 2025, respectively). Test locations and content align with the admission guide, and results are announced after testing. Families should plan around the test days and review the specific Article-based criteria in the guide.

4. Receive admission decision and next steps. After the exams and assessment, IBSH publishes the results and outlines next steps for accepted students. The timeline specifies the sequence from testing to the announcement of results, followed by orientation and enrollment activities. Check the published schedule for exact dates and any required confirmations.

5. New student orientation and enrollment procedures. New Student Orientation is scheduled (for example, August 1, 2025) with check-in and program details, followed by guidance from the IBSH administration. The orientation occurs in IBSH facilities (e.g., IBSH Future Classroom) and is part of the onboarding process for new students.

6. Enroll and finalize registration. Enrollment and registration events occur in conjunction with the orientation period, with the first day of school typically in early September (e.g., September 1, 2025). Families should complete any required registration steps during or soon after orientation, using the IBSH Registration Office as the point of contact for documents and formal enrollment. The Registration Office can be reached at the listed IBSH contact channels, including extension updates (6103).

7. Start date and ongoing updates. The school year commences with the first day of school (e.g., September 1, 2025), and families should monitor the IBSH homepage and announcements for any schedule changes or additional onboarding activities. For the most current admissions announcements, refer to the Hot News on the IBSH homepage and the Admission Information site.

Scholarships
IBSH does not advertise an internal merit- or need-based scholarship program on its public admissions pages. Instead, the site shares information about external scholarship opportunities and related programs that may benefit IBSH students. Examples include the Pu Ren Youth Care Foundation's “Big Hands to Little Hands” scholarship program, which targets financially disadvantaged students and has coordinated application windows via IBSH channels. Other external opportunities appear in IBSH posts (e.g., competitions or partner programs) that may offer scholarships or recognition tied to achievements. Families should review IBSH notices for external scholarships or grants and contact the Admissions Office for guidance on eligibility and application procedures.

Waitlist
IBSH does not publish a formal waitlist or pool policy in its publicly posted admissions materials. The published admissions timeline outlines online applications, submission appointments, entrance exams (for select applicants), announcements of results, new-student orientation, and the first day of school, but there is no explicit reference to a waitlist or a pool process. Families should plan around the posted competition schedule and, if they need to explore seat availability, monitor the school's admissions announcements.
