KPS’ admission policy provides information on our admission process and class placement. KPS follows a strict rule on placing children in a class based on their age. Children will not be placed in higher age groups based on above average performance in particular academic area. We expect all KPS teachers to be skilled in differentiated instruction so that every individual is given an appropriate level of challenge.
Intake
September is our main intake month because it is the beginning of the academic year. However for the children under 4 years of age, we do enroll after September, after consultation with the school.
Admission Procedure

• An enrolment form should be completed and returned to the school within 30 days. Upon receiving the form an appointment would be booked. Children that want a place in the Lower Nursery group and above, would be formally tested.
• An offer would be made based on the outcome of the interview and test.
• Acceptance of the offer should be made by paying the necessary fees, and provide the following documents:
• 1. Child’s Birth Certificate.
• 2. Immunization Certificate (Record).
• 3. Child’s recent school report (If the child has attend school before).

CLASS PLACEMENT

Children are placed in classes strictly according to their age on September 30th. See below for a guide to the year groups by age.  

• In exceptional circumstances, due to special learning support requirements, a student may be placed in a younger age group.  
• Parents of Lower Nursery pupils (3 Years Old) should please note that children must be fully toilet trained and able to use the toilet independently for them to be accepted into this group. Students who are not yet independent will be asked to remain at home until they are ready. 
• The maximum class size is 15.

Priority

• 
  Priority for places will be given to children that already have siblings in the school first.
  Priority would then be given next to families on the wait list for their desired class if it is full.
