Admissions

Admissions

1. Parents begin by contacting the school office, either by phone, email, or in person. At this stage, you request an application form and submit it along with the required application and placement fee. This signals your interest and allows the school to start processing your child’s admission.

2. The school reviews your child’s application, including age placement and available class space. Because classes are intentionally kept small (about 15 students per class), parents should be aware that space may be limited in certain grade levels. If a class is already full, the school may inform you about alternative options or advise you to check back.

3. Once the application is accepted and a place is confirmed, families are required to pay a non-refundable entrance fee. In addition, a refundable deposit is placed into the student’s account. This deposit is held against future charges and is returned when the child leaves, provided all accounts are cleared and school property is returned.

4. Parents must provide necessary paperwork, which typically includes a copy of the child’s passport, immunization records, past school reports (if applicable), and parent/guardian identification. These documents are essential for enrollment and must be completed before the child starts school. Families should also take this opportunity to review optional fees such as lunch or English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) support.

5. Tuition is billed by term and must be paid in advance before the start of each academic term. Families also settle any additional fees, such as lunch or ESL support if needed. Payments can be made by bank transfer, credit card, or cash, with receipts required for confirmation.

6. After financial and administrative steps are complete, the child is officially enrolled. Families are invited to orientation or an introductory meeting where daily routines, classroom practices, and school policies are explained. This step ensures that both the child and parents understand how the Montessori environment works before the first day.

Scholarships

There is no mention of scholarship programmes, financial aid, or eligibility criteria on the official website.
