Assessment of Students
As an independent school, we strive to create a learning environment that is conducive to the growth and well being of all the students in the community, assessments are an integral part of our screening process. The criteria we set are as follows: in Kindergarten, we are looking for school readiness as well as social and emotional maturity and in G1 to G12 we conduct an academic evaluation and an interview. The following factors are used in consideration for admission:

• Determining that the school can meet the child’s learning needs
• Parental understanding and support of Mulgrave School’s philosophy and practices
• Skill sets
• Parent and student interviews

Selection Process
Once the selection process has taken place, all candidates will be contacted by the Admissions Office in writing.
