Offering Places at WAB
Places at WAB are offered by the Admissions Committee. The
Admissions Committee consists of a Principal, a Counselor,
a Learning Support specialist, an ESOL specialist and an Admissions
Officer.
For students applying for August entry, a limited number
of available spaces are offered early in January-February-march,
with the bulk of the offers made form April to June. However,
WAB continues to offer places as they become available right
up until the third week of August.
WAB does admit students during the school year, on a case
by case basis, and as places become available.
WAB views applicants holistically when offering places. The
Admissions Committee takes into account the profile of the
grade applied for and, as directed by Board policy, places
students so that diversity and balance within the school is
maintained. In addition, and within the constraints of ESOL,
learning support and class size limitations, WAB also takes
into account (in no particular order)
• WAB Alumni: returning students are given some priority
• Siblings: siblings of students already enrolled in
the school are given some priority
• Registration date: Students who apply early, or who
have been waiting for a place for some time, may be given
some priority
• Wait Pool Families: WAB seeks to admit whole families
to the school. In the event of one member of a waiting pool
family being offered a place, where possible and in the interests
of keeping families together, we make a special effort to
find places for remaining siblings
• Course Offerings (High School only): Offering places
in the High School, particularly Grades 11 and 12, depends
on the availability of suitable courses
Please note that users of the Capital Levy pre-Payment Scheme
(CLPS) are given priority placement at WAB. Acceptance
Families must formally accept/reject the offer of a place
by sending back a signed formal acceptance/non-acceptance
letter (provided by WAB).
After you have formally accepted the place at WAB, we will
request the following information
• Health form (provided by WAB)
• Digital photos
• IT Acceptable Use Forms (related to IT services, provided
by WAB)
• Significant days survey (provided by WAB)
• Copy of Beijing Residence Permit for parents and student(s)
(when available)
Payment
Payment of school fees at WAB is organized by the Finance
Office. After you have formally accepted a place, the Finance
office will send an invoice to the appropriate party within
two weeks. Payment is expected within three weeks.
