A student who schedules an appointment for an enrollment interview is subject to a preliminary assessment by the Enrollment Admission Committee to evaluate the student’s readiness for the school and the grade level they are applying for.

During the preliminary assessment, factors such as expert interview records, Parent Information Forms, and the student’s academic proficiency in core subject areas are taken into consideration.

New Enrollments for Our Preschools

Children may be enrolled in our kindergartens as follows: from 24 months for age 3, from 36 months for age 4, and from 48 months for age 5.

A Primary School Readiness Test is administered to students who are 60 months old. Placement in a higher or lower class appropriate to the student’s level of readiness is determined jointly by the student’s parent or guardian, the school psychologist, and the school administrations.
