The admissions process involves a multi-step procedure starting with a review of eligibility, academic results, and subject prerequisites. Applicants must submit an application form along with supporting documents, such as academic records and evidence of co-curricular achievements. Shortlisted candidates undergo an assessment, which may include an aptitude or academic test, followed by an interview with the IBDP panel to determine academic readiness, motivation, and programme suitability.

The school is a fully residential campus located in Bandar Enstek, Negeri Sembilan. The facilities support a range of academic and creative pursuits, including specialized spaces for science experimentation and a dedicated area for Visual Arts. The campus is designed to provide a nurturing and conducive environment for learning and personal development.

Students participate in the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme, which requires them to complete a project and various experiences over at least 18 months. This component is designed to foster leadership, social responsibility, and personal growth. Additionally, students engage in community service and global citizenship projects, and have opportunities to participate in events such as the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) exhibition and national science competitions.
