Required documents

Every school has its own list of required documents for admission, but there is significant overlap across institutions. Common requirements include birth certificates, previous school records, medical certificates, passport photographs, and proof of residence. Some schools also require recommendation letters, baptismal certificates, or local government identification.

Navigating this document checklist can be stressful — especially for first-time applicants or families applying to multiple schools at once. In this thread, share what documents your school requires, and advise families on how to gather and organise them efficiently.

Parents, feel free to ask about specific requirements — members of this community are happy to help clarify what is needed and where to obtain it.
