Admissions

Admissions
1. Founding families join the very first cohort of students at Epsom College Tokyo. Founding families benefit from a highly personalised experience, with close individual support, strong home–school partnerships, and access to leadership, enrichment, and community-building opportunities designed for the school's early years. The school takes time to understand each child's readiness, potential, and aspirations, ensuring every student begins their Epsom journey with confidence, belonging, and purpose. Founding families help shape the culture and traditions of the new campus.

2. Research. Families are encouraged to explore Epsom College Tokyo's information offerings, including opportunities to attend information sessions online or offline. Follow the school on social media to stay informed, and explore how the UK-based curriculum and pathway may fit their child's needs. This step helps determine whether the pathway aligns with the child's education plan.

3. Application. Submitting an application allows the Admissions Team to begin getting to know the child and family. Once the application is received, families are guided through each stage of the admissions journey. Typical documents requested include recent school reports, identification documents, and any relevant supporting information.

4. Entrance Test. The Entrance Test identifies the student's academic attainment and potential. There are three parts: Part 1 is a computerised baseline test assessing maths, learning skills, and literacy; Part 2 is the English level test assessing language proficiency; Part 3 is the Essay Writing section to gauge expression. After the online profile is created, the Admissions Office will be in touch with steps to book a slot for the Entrance Test.

5. Interviews. Selected families may be invited to meet with members of the school leadership or admissions team. The conversation helps to understand each child's personality, interests, and educational needs, while also giving families the opportunity to learn more about the school community.

6. Letter of Offer. Successful applicants will receive a formal offer of placement from the school following completion of the admissions review process.

7. Acceptance of Offer. To confirm acceptance of an offer, families will be guided through the enrolment process, including submission of required documentation and completion of registration procedures.

8. Payments. Fee information and payment guidance will be provided alongside the offer documentation. The Admissions Team remains available to support families throughout the process.

9. Orientation Day. Before the start of term, new families will be invited to orientation sessions designed to help students settle confidently into school life. These sessions provide an opportunity to meet staff, become familiar with routines and expectations, and begin building connections within the Epsom community. For founding families, this marks the beginning of a shared journey as part of the first Epsom College Tokyo cohort.
