Our admission policy is designed to ensure that the admission process is fair, transparent, and in line with international best practices.

Admission Procedure:
Step 1: Inquiry and Initial Contact
Inquiry: Parents or guardians interested in admitting their child to Beautiful Beginning Academy can initiate the process by submitting an inquiry through the school’s official website or contacting the admissions office.
Initial Contact: Upon receiving the inquiry, the admissions team will reach out to provide information about the school, including the academic programs, extracurricular activities, admissions requirements, and the application process.
Step 2: Application Submission
–
Application Form: Parents or guardians will be required to complete the school’s official application form, which can be obtained through the admissions office or downloaded from the school’s website.
–
Documentation: Along with the application form, the following documents should be submitted:
Student’s birth certificate or passport.
Previous school records or transcripts (if applicable).
Immunization records.
Contact information for references (if requested).
Step 3: Assessment and Interview
–
Assessment: Applicants may be scheduled for academic assessments or placement tests, depending on their grade level, to determine their current academic level.
– Interview: Parents and students will be invited for an interview with a school representative. This is an opportunity for the school to get to know the applicant and the family, and for the parents and students to ask any questions they may have about the school.
Step 4: Review and Decision
–
– Application Review: The admissions committee will thoroughly review all submitted documents, assessment results, and interview feedback to assess the student’s readiness for enrolment.
–
– Admission Decision: Applicants will be notified of the admission decision within a reasonable timeframe. The decision may be one of the following:
— Admission Offer: The student is offered a place in the school.
— Waitlist: The student is placed on a waitlist, and admission may be granted if a space becomes available.
— Non-Admission: The student’s application is not accepted.
Reasons for Non–Admission:
Admission to Beautiful Beginning Academy may not be granted for the following reasons, in line with best practices from international schools:
1. Limited Space: The school may not be able to admit a student if all available spaces are filled, leading to placement on a waitlist.
2. Academic Readiness: If the school determines that the student’s academic level or needs are not a suitable match for the programmes offered admission may not be granted.
3. Behavioural or Disciplinary Concerns: A history of serious disciplinary issues or behaviour that poses a risk to the safety and well-being of other students may lead to non-admission.
4. Incomplete Documentation: Failure to provide all required documents and information may result in non–admission as it hinders the school’s ability to make an informed decision.
5. Grade Level Availability: Availability for certain grade levels may be limited, leading to non-admission if there are no openings.
Step 5: Enrolment and Orientation
– Enrolment: Once admission is granted, the parents or guardians will receive enrolment forms and instructions. These forms should be completed, and any required fees paid to secure the student’s place.
– Orientation: New students and their families will be invited to an orientation program to familiarize themselves with the school’s policies, and facilities, and meet the teachers and staff.
