Admission Procedure to the Lower School - Early Years Programme
A child should be two and a half years old; toilet-trained; be able to communicate in
his/her home language and be ready to socialize with his/her peers to enter the Early
Years Programme.
A recorded observation is carried out so as to verify the child's readiness for school in
terms of social skills, language production, maturity and independence skills.
Having carried this out, the prospective parents are invited to a personal interview before
admission to the Early Years Programme.
The purpose of the interview held between the parents, EYP teachers and coordinator is to confirm
the child's readiness for school and gather information about the child, the languages the child is exposed to, previous day care experience, health, family situation etc., as background information . The adaptation procedure is also explained, as is the programme itself.
Any special circumstances or requests should be mentioned to the Early Years staff during this
interview.
The entry of new students is staggered so as to ensure its guaranteed success.
