Our Application Process

We are delighted that you are considering partnering with us in educating your child. Please complete the form in full. If you have any questions or difficulties along the way, don’t hesitate to contact us.

The admissions procedure starts with the completion and submission of this application form and payment of an application fee of R300. We will then contact you to arrange a parent and child interview with the Principal. Acceptance into the school will be communicated in writing, after which you will have two weeks to pay a non-refundable enrolment fee of R3500 in order to secure your child’s place. A contract is then entered into between the parents and the school.

This is a thorough application form with three parts. Part 1 involves filling in personal details; Part 2 provides an opportunity to elaborate on your connection with your child, approach to discipline and understanding of the kind of education we partner with parents for; and in Part 3 you will be required to upload digital copies of the following required documents (.pdf or image files) so please make sure to have them on hand before beginning Part 3 of the application form.

Please note that each section will need to be done in a single sitting (the form cannot be saved half way through a section)
