The best way to understand and experience our school is to attend our admissions events and open days or make an appointment to visit NLCS HCMC during the week. Individual visits are bookable on a first come, first served basis. Click here to view and book our current events.
NLCS HCMC reserves the right to close applications for particular year groups earlier than planned, and without notice, if demand is high. We therefore always recommend an early application.
We are happy to receive applications throughout the year. Applications can be emailed or delivered to us directly and will be processed on a first come, first served basis with the following:
