FAQs for the Admission Process of Non-Siblings

We understand that securing admission to a good school is of great importance to both parents and
children. As a result, ‘admission time’ is a very stressful period for everyone. We hope the following
FAQ’s will help you to better understand the admission process and thereby make it easier for all
involved.
Question: What percentage of applicants are admitted into Nursery?
Answer: As you may be aware there are limited seats available for Nursery candidates. We have no
choice but to accept 1 out of every 10 candidates who apply. Therefore, if your child is not accepted
at this time, please do not take it as a personal reflection of you or your child.
Question: What are the criteria for admission?
Answer: Admission is based on many criteria, some pertaining to the candidate and others to the
needs of that particular group of students, for example the boy-girl ratio.
Question: Is the teacher’s feedback an indication of the child’s assessment during the interview?
Answer: Our teachers are trained to encourage self-esteem and be positive with all candidates.
Therefore, just because the teacher tells your child how bright he/she is, or how well they are doing,
that in itself is not a reflection of your child’s performance in the interview.
Question: What are the different criteria being observed during the interview?
Answer: The criteria being observed are: social relations, creative representation, movement &
coordination, language development, and understanding of pre-mathematical concepts.
Question: How is this observation carried out?
Answer: This is done informally through play.
Question: How do you assess children at different ages?
Answer: We realize children are at different developmental stages and consideration is given to the
age of the applicant. We are more interested in determining the overall intellectual and academic
potential of the candidate.
Question: Is enrollment in a play school a pre-requisite for admission into Nursery?
Answer: Enrollment in a play school is not a pre-requisite for admission into Nursery.
Question: Is any one play school given preference over another?
Answer: All play schools have different curriculums and we do not favour one over the other.
Question: How will selected students be assigned to a campus?
Answer: Selected students will be assigned to a campus at the school’s discretion. Transfer requests
are not entertained.

If you do not wish to avail the opportunity of following through the admission process for any
reason, kindly inform the school office, well in advance.

We would like to thank you for applying to our school and hope that this letter helps to clarify your
concerns.
