Admissions are Still Open at YCIS-BJ | 北京耀中正在招生

The YCIS Beijing Admissions Team continues to work around the clock to handle new student enrolments and to welcome new families to our school community. To those who are new to Beijing and to those who are looking for a new learning environment for their children, we encourage you to get in touch with our team of experienced Admissions advisors as soon as possible. They will be happy to answer any school-related question you might have.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown, many activities have been halted, including our school campus visits conducted by the department. However, recourses were put in place for parents. Peter Bezuidenhout, YCIS-BJ Head of Admissions, explained what plans of action the department had put in place to ensure the constant and smooth running of the department.

How did the Admissions Department adapt to the lockdown?

The Admissions Department made some strategic adjustments in order to continue to effectively assist enquiring families who would like to join YCIS Beijing. Although the admissions team has been working remotely, we remained in full contact with parents.  

Were new rules implemented regarding the admissions process that prospective parents should know about?

Instead of physical campus tours, we now invite enquiring parents to make use of our wonderful virtual tour option via the school website.  We, continue to encourage parents to ask questions about the various areas they have visited and the programmes offered by the school, just like they would do during our normal campus tour process.  In addition, we still offer interview slots for parents who have submitted applications for their children, followed by Offers of Placement for all successful applicants.  So basically, the admissions process continues as normal. 

What other key information should prospective parents be aware of?  

We would like to make parents aware that they can reach us by phone, as our office will redirect calls to our remote locations.  As another option, we encourage parents who would like to learn more about YCIS Beijing, to contact us via the online enquiry form on the school website.  One of the Admissions Team members will then get in touch to share information, answer questions, and discuss the next steps in the admissions process.

Applications are still open according to Sara Wramner, Deputy Head of Admissions and the team urges “families to apply ASAP so that we can secure their seats since we are almost at full capacity.”

北京耀中招生团队继续夜以继日地处理新生入学事宜，并欢迎新家庭来到我们的学校社区。对于那些刚到北京，和正在为自己的孩子寻找一个新的学习环境的家长，我们鼓励您们尽快与我们经验丰富的招生顾问团队取得联系。他们会很乐意回答您可能提出的任何与学校有关的问题。

从新冠肺炎闭校开始，很多事情都被叫停了，包括招生部组织的校园参观活动。然而，资源已经为家长们准备好了。北京耀中招生部主管Peter Bezuidenhout解释了该部门为确保招生工作的顺利进行而采取的行动计划。

在招生过程中是否实施了未入学准家长们需要了解的新规定?

我们现在邀请想要咨询的家长访问学校网站，体验我们美妙的虚拟校园导览，而不是实体的校园参观。然后，我们鼓励家长就他们参观过的各处和学校提供的课程提出问题，就像他们在我们正常的校园参观过程中所做的那样。此外，我们继续给已提交子女入学申请的家长提供面试机会，并为所有成功申请的家长发放录取通知书。所以基本上来说，录取程序照常进行。

 未入学的准家长们还应该了解哪些关键信息?

我们想让家长们意识到他们可以通过电话联系我们，因为我们的办公室会把电话转接到我们远程办公的地方。作为另一种选择，我们鼓励想了解北京耀中更多信息的家长们通过学校网站的在线咨询窗口与我们联系。然后，招生团队将与您取得联系，分享信息，回答问题，并讨论招生过程中的后续步骤。

据校招生部副主管Sara Wramner表示，申请仍在进行中，招生团队敦促“家长们尽快申请，以确保录取，因为我们的名额已经不多了。”
