Applications open on 1 November for the following September. Places are offered on a rolling basis as assessments are completed, so early application genuinely matters — particularly in K5 and Grade 7, where internal students already hold most seats. 31 March is the priority deadline; after that we fill remaining seats as they become available and maintain a waiting list by year group. Mid-year entry is possible where a division has space and the child’s previous school can supply current records.

Students age 4 through Grade 11 sit an entrance diagnostic exam on campus. It takes about ninety minutes, is written in a normal classroom, and requires no special preparation. Early Learning applicants (age 2-3) are not tested. They join a short play session with a teacher who observes language, social interaction and motor development.

Tuition is due in full at the start of each of the three terms, on or before the first day of classes. Annual technology and laboratory fees are charged with the first term. A monthly payment plan is available on request for families who prefer to spread the cost; it must be agreed with the bursar before the school year begins. Report cards and transcripts are held for accounts in arrears, and re-enrolment for the following year is confirmed only once the account is clear.

A 5% tuition reduction applies to the third and each subsequent child enrolled in the same academic year. Registration and annual fees are charged per student regardless of the number of siblings enrolled.

A child must be two years old by 30 September of the year of entry and have a completed immunisation record signed by a physician. Toilet training is not a requirement for entry — the division supports it as part of the year, in partnership with parents. We ask for a short settling-in schedule during the first week, which the division head will arrange with you individually.

Yes, in every year group except Grade 12, where BGCSE candidacy must be registered from the start of Grade 11. Transferring students supply their two most recent report cards, sit the placement assessment, and meet the division head with a parent. Where a curriculum gap exists — a subject not previously offered, for example — we use Ignitia to close it under a supervising teacher.

A limited number of partial bursaries are awarded each year on a combination of academic merit and demonstrated need, primarily at entry into Grades 7 and 10. Applications are considered between January and March and require supporting documentation. Ask the admissions office for the bursary form when you apply.
