Children have school visit days, to allow them to experience the school and curriculum for themselves. During these days, both the family and the child are given the chance to observe a day in the life at The Vale School Muthaiga. This provides an opportunity for the staff to engage with the child and determine if we can meet their needs.

For certain classes

Our school has a Rolling Admissions Policy; that is, when enrolling children in a class, admissions are closed once the maximum number of children for that particular class is reached.
