Admission is open to students of all nationalities, including those who do not yet speak English.

Students are considered for admission who have completed the application procedures including our school registration documents, submission of health records, updated immunization records, previous school records (must be translated into English), and the registration fee.

After an initial interview with the director, additional testing may be required to determine readiness, English proficiency or grade level. New students not coming from an accredited American curriculum school will be tested to determine placement.

Admission and placement is determined by the school director in consultation with the parents and teachers involved, based on the child's educational background and the appropriateness of our school program for the child.

Children entering the Nursery section must be 2.5 years old by September 1, 2006, the Kindergarten, at least 5 years old by September 1, 2006 while those entering 1st grade must be 6 years old by September 1, 2006. In the event that a potential admission or placement is in dispute, the final decisions will be made by the school director.

Instruction in English as a Second Language is available for students who need to develop their proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing English.

ESL provides English support in various ways:

• pull-out classes;
• content support in the regular classroom;
• tutoring.
