We welcome your application for your student. Whether local or international, new or returning family, every prospective student must complete the online application form to start the admissions-enrollment process. 

For School Year 2025-26: Semester one applications are now closed. We are accepting semester two applications, and will continue to do so until he semester two deadline of February 13, 2026. Here is the link to the current school year, semester two, application form. Watch for an automated email response with next steps.

For School Year 2026-27: The new student application portal will be open as of October 1st. For grade nine, our class capacity is 125. In rare instances, we may need to place a student on a waiting list pending an available space. Here is the  school year 2026-27 application form. See Step 3. 

Your child’s application will be carefully reviewed and the next steps will be established. We will be in touch to either request a meeting, additional information or to confirm enrollment.

All applications are processed starting in the second week of January, and continuing until school starts or the class reaches capacity.  After that, a waiting list may be opened. 

We place a priority on families that currently have students enrolled at HDCH, and then offer placement to students from new families in the order they are received.

Parents of accepted students receive an Enrollment Notification email. These emails are sent starting in late January. 

Every applicant is considered with the student’s needs and well-being in mind.

A non-refundable, one-time deposit is required for every new family. Requests for deposit start early in the calendar year. 

Tuition fees for local students are found here.

Families applying for bursary support (between February and May only) will be asked to complete a second application form.

International students will be contacted individually as students may or may not require homestay and guardianship. 

If enrollment is confirmed, your next step will be to finalize your financial arrangement with the school. The financial package will be sent out starting in mid-May.
