Applications will be processed as soon as RAS Admissions has received all necessary documents, as outlined in Step 2 above. The expected process time for initial evaluation is 5 working days. These times may be extended if additional evaluation or diagnosis is required. Once RAS Admissions evaluates a completed application, a staff member will contact the applicant to make screening/interview arrangements.

Screening/Interview
Students enter RAS from many different countries with widely varying educational systems. Age, previous school records, evaluative testing, an interview, and a review of all pertinent records are used to ensure that students are placed in appropriate grade levels.

After the Admissions Office makes an initial evaluation of a complete application, all applicants are required to participate in an admissions interview and admissions screening that assesses skills in English language (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as mathematics.

Applicants for the Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten programs will be invited for a Parent Interview session. Prospective pre-k students will be provided with materials to play with while Admissions personnel interview parent(s) on daily routines and family life.

Interviews will be scheduled in person, or, if not possible, via Line. If an applicant is unable to attend an interview in person, or on Line, then enrollment may be offered contingent on completion of successful interview once present in Thailand.
