Stage IV: Decision of the Admissions Committee
The Admissions Committee will evaluate the student and make a decision on grade placement with the best interest of the student in mind. This will be determined by the age appropriate level, previous academic records, recommendations, placement assessments and the interview. This decision will be communicated to the applicant immediately after the interview.
Upon approval of the Admissions Committee, a letter of offer from the Registrar will be received by the applicant. A welcome package and a tuition invoice that outlines all the associated costs of enrolment, will accompany this letter. Accepted offers will require the applicant to complete payment of the invoice within five working days.
Stage V: Further Evaluation
If it is determined that there is insufficient evidence to make a firm decision, applicants will receive a written notification from the Admissions Office outlining the additional information required, as well as an expected timeline for the completion of the process. This may involve additional interviews or evaluation with our school specialists, or contact with the applicant’s previous school.
Stage VI: Fee Structure
The application fee is payable after stage IV. In the case of a positive decision by the Admissions Committee, an admission’s package will be released to the parent. This will include instructions of paying the required admission’s related fees. The payment of this fee will secure the admission of the child and thus bring the admission’s process to an end. Complete payment of the invoice must take place within one week.
