Enrollment Process Overview

To initiate the enrollment process at Gaia Waldorf School, kindly follow these steps:

1. Complete All Necessary Documentation:
   • Fill out the ‘Application for Enrollment’ form, which includes the financial commitment and the pedagogical agreement from parents.
   • If financial responsibilities are to be assumed by someone other than the parents, incorporate their details into the financial commitment section.
   • An interview form is also to be completed as part of this packet.
2. Supporting Documents:
   • Attach a recent payslip and a basic statement of monthly income versus expenses.
   • Provide copies of legal identification for both parents.
   • Include a copy of the child’s birth certificate.
   • If applicable, a copy of your permanent residence permit is required.
   • For primary school candidates, the latest academic reports of the child should be enclosed.
   • Any pertinent confidential assessments related to health, learning, or psychological needs should be included.
   • Present proof of payment for the non-refundable application fee.
   • Submit a letter explaining your interest in enrolling your child at Gaia Waldorf School.
3. Important Considerations:
   • We maintain the policy of inquiring about fee payment history with prior educational institutions to ensure there are no outstanding fees.
   • Obtain your child’s CEMIS number from their current school.
4. Interview & Assessment:
   • Upon satisfying the above criteria and confirmation of availability in the desired class, we will schedule an interview with the class educator and a brief financial discussion.
   • For Class 1 applicants, a school readiness assessment is to be conducted by an occupational therapist. The school will coordinate this, and the cost will be billed to you.
5. Interview Protocol:
   • The interview involves direct interaction with both the parent(s) and the child. We may also invite the child to participate in a trial period at the school lasting 2-3 days.
   • Following these sessions, the teaching staff will evaluate whether we can adequately meet the needs of the child and the class. Acceptance is contingent upon this comprehensive review.
6. Notification & Confirmation:
   • We will communicate the outcome of your application via phone. If accepted, you are required to pay a non-refundable registration fee.
   • Receipt of this fee will trigger the dispatch of an official acceptance letter.

Please note that each step of this procedure is designed to ensure the well-being and educational fit for each child, considering the unique ethos of Gaia Waldorf School.
