Admissions

Admissions
1. Personal Interview with the family. The admissions team will interview the family and the student candidate. This first meeting introduces the school's philosophy and programs and helps determine if the school model fits the student's needs. If your family is abroad, virtual interviews are available. 2. Candidate Assessment. The assessment is based on a personal interview with the candidate, an academic transcript or report, and references from the previous school. When necessary, the candidate will undertake an entrance test. A trial day/period is recommended to ensure a smooth transition. If there are learning difficulties, social-emotional or other needs, this should be communicated to the admissions team at the time of initiating the application. 3. Acceptance and Enrolment. Students accepted must fill out additional documentation before starting, in addition to paying the corresponding tuition and other pertinent payments. If there is no place, the admissions team will work to resolve the situation as soon as possible. Preference will be given to families who already are at school.
