Assessment |
| Brief description of entry evaluation required |
There are no academic requirements for acceptance into Kindergarten (3 to 5 years of age). Prospective students at these levels are interviewed; they must be toilet-trained and able to speak and follow simple instructions. All other prospective students take diagnostic tests in the core subjects of English and mathematics. These tests help to determine if the student has attained the minimum expected standard for each subject. The school then makes final placement decisions. Various options are available to help bring a student to the required level. These options can include attending summer school or taking extra classes in a subject. Special academic support is taken very seriously by the school. |
