Overseas Candidates

For candidates residing abroad, arrangements can be made for entrance tests to be administered by candidate’s current school. The parents of the applicant need to inform their child’s school of this. If the school agrees to administer the exams, the exam questions will be emailed to the school and the school will return the completed scripts to Lead-Forte Gate College via courier ONLY. The parents of the applicant bear the cost of courier.
Application forms will only be received by parents whose child meets the entry age criteria. Once the process is completed and the Admissions Office is notified, we will email the entrance test papers to the applicant’s school.
The parents of the applicant are required to complete the on line application form and return to us by email with copies of their child’s last school report, birth certificate and passport photographs.
The Principal, at his/her discretion, may accept a Confidential reference from the applicant’s current Head teacher should an interview not be possible. If the candidate is successful and is offered admission, arrangements are made for the family to meet the Principal for an informal chat on resumption at the College.
Midstream Admissions Procedure
