Admissions Process

Manila Xiamen International School (MXIS) upholds admissions principles of fairness, transparency, suitability and continuum across all grades. Centered on the IB inquiry-based educational philosophy, we have established a standardised admissions process spanning PreK to Grade 12. We value not only students’ academic capabilities, but also their language proficiency, inquisitive spirit, cultural compatibility and alignment with family educational beliefs, crafting a personalised starting point for every learner.
