After the facility tour or interview, it is advised to inform us as soon as possible of how you wish to proceed, as demand for placement is high. We will try our best to accommodate all families to the best of our ability. However, should there be unavailability of placement space in a specific term that a family wish to enrol for, the child or children; we will be offering a wait seat for immediate placement as soon as placement slots are available.
Children will be conditionally admitted into the house within the limits of the available spaces, according to the date of the reception of the registration form. At this point, the parent will be officially offered a conditional seat and administrative and financial obligations will have to be fulfilled.
Upon completing and returning all administrative requirements and the Registration Fee is receipted, parents will be sent an invitation to the child's Orientation Day.
A tuition invoice will be issued and must be settled in advance of resumption (payment terms and conditions apply). New Student first days are computer generated based on the registration applications and payment date. All hands will be on deck to receive your child as they join our community.
