Assessment
After registration, prospective pupils are invited to visit the school for a short visit. They will be given an age appropriate assessment and they will have the opportunity to see whether or not they like the school, and the school has the opportunity to see whether or not the pupil is able to access the curriculum at a level in keeping with the children in the proposed class.
Assessments are conducted for entry into Form 4 and at any other level when comparable reports are not available to determine placement levels. The British Academy also places emphasis on student discipline and work ethics which can be observed during their assessment visit or may also be revealed in school reference letters and reports. In some cases, students may also be interviewed by the Principal or Dean.
Following this visit the admissions staff will contact you. If the visit is successful, and there is space available, your child will be offered a place. If a place is not currently available the child will be placed on a waiting list until such time as a place becomes available. If we do not offer your child a place at The British Academy we will seek to provide a full and frank explanation of our reasons. On occasion, it is not possible for a child re-locating from abroad to visit the school. In these circumstances the child may be offered a place on the basis of the school reports alone. As with all final admission decisions, this is entirely at the discretion of the Principal.
Enrollment
When your child is offered a place at The British Academy, you will be required to pay a $13, 200.00 towards the Capital Fund to hold the place. This fee is for Forms 1 to Forms 5. Please see our Fees and Policies.
The first term’s school fees for any student commencing at The Academy in September of any given year, is payable by the 30th June of that year, once the student has been assessed, accepted and the Capital Fee paid.
Thereafter school fees are to be paid within the first 2 weeks of each new term.
Arrival
The admissions office will send out a package of information prior to your child’s arrival in school. This includes our school calendar, and a variety of forms to be completed. An orientation session will be held for new parents and children during the week prior to the start of each term. Parents and children are invited to attend this morning session when they will be introduced to the Form teachers and staff of The British Academy.
The staff and existing pupils are keen to welcome our new families and help make your transition as smooth as possible.
