1. Stage 1 – Application submission and document check. The applicant completes and signs the BISPP admission form and submits it along with supporting documents: a copy of the family book, the parent's passport or identification document, the student's birth certificate or passport, three recent passport‑sized photographs, a copy of the vaccination certificate, copies of previous school reports, and an application fee. The registrar reviews the submission to verify completeness and to determine initial eligibility. Placement of the student at BISPP also follows age‑based criteria aligned to the Cambridge curriculum; parents should consult the Grade Level Placement table to confirm the correct class. This stage establishes whether the application can advance to testing.
2. Stage 2 – Admission test and interview. Applicants proceed to an hour‑long cognitive test, after which an interview is conducted with the academic manager. If the test and interview are successful, the application is accepted; if not, BISPP conducts a communication session with the parents to discuss next steps. The admissions process does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system; all decisions proceed through testing, interview, and document review.
