Selection Philosophy
Admissions at Kingsman International College is a holistic process. We are not simply looking for the highest grades; we are looking for the “Kingsman Fit.” This implies a student who possesses intellectual curiosity, the resilience to thrive in our Northern climate, and a genuine desire to contribute to our community.
We read every line of every personal statement. We look for the spark of creativity in a portfolio and the evidence of logical thought in a maths entrance exam. We welcome the unconventional thinker.
