Early applications

Posted by visitor (249 days ago)

Hi all. I'm just looking at primary school options for my son. I've heard that if I didn't put his name down at birth, getting into the inyternational schools might be difficult. Is that true? Also, do all int schools require a debenture? Thanks.

ESF do not require a debenture, most other International schools do, or a capital levy. With ESF there is a fixed date every year when you can put your childs name down, you cannot out it down before this. Some International schools have an entrance exam, so entry is dependant on ability not how early you put their name down.

Hi cd

"Some International schools have an entrance exam, so entry is dependant on ability not how early you put their name down."

u are right about the entrance test, however if everthing else is same( ie passed the test, has debenture etc) and they have one seat remaining it will go to the candidate who registered the earliest.
