Early Years – Primary Years
(ages 4-12)

Admissions to our pre-school or Primary Years, is possible at any time depending on the capacity of the school. Prior to starting, all students (Learning Partners) must participate in a trial week. This trial week is aimed at familiarizing your child to the school and their surrounding environment.

Before the final stage of admission, the school must receive all documents (e.g. previous report cards and confidential report).

Secondary Years (ages 12-18)

Depending on the availability of places and the grade (Years 10 and 12 are exceptional circumstances due to the two-year programme being implemented), starting at secondary school is possible at any time. Prior to starting, all students (Learning Partners) must participate in a trial week. This trial week is aimed at familiarizing your child to the school and their surrounding environment and ensuring a best-fit for their academic level. A final interview with both the School Principal and head of secondary finalizes this process.
