Admissions
Admissions
1. Consultation appointment: Prospective families are invited to schedule a consultation to discuss the student's background, goals, and fit with PICS's program. PICS recruits students who have a positive attitude toward learning and welcomes students from diverse social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. All applicants who meet the criteria may apply for admission, and the school evaluates applicants on a case-by-case basis considering academic performance, English ability, school activities, and letters of recommendation to determine whether the student can complete the program successfully. This initial step sets expectations for the admissions process.
2. Admissions counseling: After the consultation, families participate in admissions counseling to discuss program specifics and the admissions process. This counseling provides information about the school's approach and what the admissions team looks for in applicants. The session helps families understand the next steps and how candidacy is evaluated in relation to the program's requirements.
3. Document submission: The application documents are submitted as part of the process. The documents are reviewed to verify eligibility and completeness as part of moving toward the interview stage. This step marks the transition from initial discussion to formal assessment of the candidate's file.
4. Interview: An interview is conducted as part of the admissions process. The interview provides an opportunity for the school to assess the applicant beyond written materials. It also allows the family to ask questions and gauge how well the student might integrate with PICS's environment.
5. Admission: Admission is the formal acceptance step. The school makes an admission decision based on the review of the submitted materials and the interview outcomes. Families are notified of the decision and the next steps to finalize enrollment.
6. Orientation: An orientation is conducted to help new students begin at PICS. Orientation prepares students and families for the start of the program and provides guidance on school routines and expectations.
