EduTrust is the Committee for Private Education's accreditation for private international schools. 4-year certification indicates higher quality standards than 1-year. Schools without current EduTrust are in regulatory trouble and can't enrol international students legitimately. Verify certification before committing.
6-18 months for top-tier schools (SAS, UWC, Tanglin, Dulwich). Some year groups at popular grade levels (Year 7, Year 11) have waitlists exceeding 12 months. Smaller schools and less popular year groups have immediate availability. Early application with placement testing gives you more options.
