Admissions
Admissions

The test results help determine eligibility to proceed. 2. Personal Interview: Following the written assessment, students will participate in a personal interview to further evaluate their suitability for the school environment. The interview assesses how well the student fits the school community. It complements the admission test in the evaluation process. 3. Parent Interview: Parents will also go through a personal interview to discuss their expectations and commitment to the school community. The interview ensures alignment between family and school. It provides an opportunity for parents to share their involvement plans and support. 4. Acceptance Decision: If the student successfully passes both the written and oral assessments, they will be accepted into the appropriate grade level, provided there is a vacant spot. Acceptance is contingent on the availability of space in the class. The decision follows completion of all required assessments. The process leads to formal acceptance if criteria are met. 5. Waiting List: If the desired class is full, the student will be placed on a waiting list for future openings. The waiting list keeps applicants in consideration for upcoming seats. The policy ensures a path to admission when space becomes available. The waiting list continues until a place becomes available.
