Designate Morrison Academy Kaohsiung as your first-choice campus; you may email the admissions coordinator if you want to indicate interest in other campuses. After submitting, you will receive an automated email outlining the remaining documents to submit; the file becomes active only once all paperwork is received.

3. Submit supporting documents: Along with the online application, provide passport copies for both parents and the student, and school records for the past two years translated into English. You'll also need two teacher recommendations (with official school emails). The admissions system will indicate any additional documents required to complete your file.

4. Testing and interviews: For Grade 1–12 applications, the deadline is the Grade 1–12 Application Deadline, followed by Testing and Interviews scheduled in April–May (exact dates vary by campus). Kindergarten has its own application timing as well. Please contact the Kaohsiung campus for the precise dates and times.

5. Admissions decision and campus visit: If the student meets admissions requirements, the admissions coordinator will guide you through the remaining steps of the process and coordinate visits as needed. You may arrange meetings with staff or a campus tour during this period. The admissions team will communicate via email after you submit the application.

6. Enrollment and tuition/fees: If admitted, you'll proceed to enrollment and payment of tuition and fees by the dates published for the school year.

The May 15 deadline applies to tuition/fees in the current cycle, and late refunds and interest provisions exist for late payments.

7. Financial aid and scholarships (optional pathway): If families require financial assistance, MAK participates in scholarship support funded by designated gifts. The Robert Morrison Scholarship fund assists Taiwan-based families in need to access Morrison Academy, with awards contingent on donor funds and availability. Financial aid information is offered through Morrison's support channels, and awarding is governed by the availability of funds.

MAK offers scholarship support funded by designated gifts. The Robert Morrison Scholarship fund specifically provides aid to Taiwan-based families who otherwise could not afford attendance, with awards determined by donor funds and overall availability. Applications for general financial aid are administered through Morrison's Support/Fundraising framework; the granting of scholarships depends on funds and is not guaranteed year to year.

There is no published formal waitlist or applicant pool described for Morrison Academy Kaohsiung. Admissions timelines reference fixed deadlines, testing, and the possibility of “unexpected openings” that may be filled if spaces become available. Open House visibility is limited by capacity, and spots are not guaranteed. In practice, the process relies on space availability and timely completion of the application and testing steps rather than a centralized waitlist.
