Admissions Process
Hiba Academy Hangzhou is committed to provide a seamless admissions procedure.
- Register for a Pathways to lifelong learning session
- Apply online
- Face-to-face communication
- Reviewing applications and enrolment
By submitting an enquiry form, you are starting the admissions process but not yet submitting an application. You will be contacted by a member of the Admissions Department within two working days, who will explain more information about the School, and offer assistance with the next steps in the admissions process. We encourage all parents applying to our nursery to attend a Pathways to lifelong learning session. These sessions give you a valuable opportunity to get to know the head of our nursery, and allow parents to gain a deeper insight into Hiba values and identity, our educational ethos and curriculum. When you submit an enquiry, a member of the admissions department will inform you of the next session. Submit an application and create an OpenApply parent account by clicking the 'Apply Now' button.
Once you have submitted an application, the next step is to submit all of the required documents. A checklist of required documents can be found in your OpenApply parent account.
Once you have completed these four steps, an Admissions Officer will assist you with the remainder of the process. If at any stage in this process you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Department on 0571-8239-6388 or via email at admissions.hah@hibaacademy.org.
