Testing and Admission Decision

There are no academic requirements for acceptance into Levels A and B (~3+ to 4+ years of age). Prospective students at Levels A and B are interviewed: they must be able to speak and to follow simple instructions and they must be toilet-trained.

All other new students take diagnostic tests in the core subjects of English and Mathematics (and a second language, where applicable). Diagnostic tests help to determine if prospective students have attained the minimum expected standard for the appropriate class. When the diagnostic tests have been marked and checked and the results have been considered, the final placement decision is made.

Provisional registration may be considered for students not able to take diagnostic tests at any of our centers.

The diagnostic tests will not be administered before all the required documents are submitted and registration procedures are completed.

Once accepted and the required fees paid, a place for the student is reserved. Parents who delay registration may find no places available when they come to register.
