Enrolment FAQ

Application

[AGE] I notice some programmes are open for children ages 5 or above to apply. Is my child eligible to apply if he/she is 4 years and 10 months old during the application period in August?

Yes. The children have to meet the age requirement of the programmes (including Choral, Dance, Instrumental, Putonghua and IEC) by the time when the programmes begin. For instance, if your child is 4 years and 10 months old during the application period in August, he/she will be 5 years and 3 months old when the programme starts in January next year, which he/she already fulfils the age requirement for the Choral programme.

➤ Overview of the Age Requirement of All Programmes

[IEC PROGRAMME] My child who is 3 years and 6 months old now and is not eligible to join the Choral and Dance Programmes. Is there any other class available for children to lay a good foundation to learn music and dance?

You may consider the IEC (Intelligence-Emotion-Creativity) Programme, which is an art programme designed for children ages 2 years and 6 months old to 6 years old. The programme includes singing, body moving, instrument playing and artistic creation. The Nursery class in the programme also provides an opportunity for parents to assist and accompany their children to develop interests in arts via various types of interactive activities. The IEC Programme is open for application in May and November. No audition is required and a computer draw will be conducted to determine the successful applicants.
