Before You Apply
A Few Things That Help
Start before you feel ready
Admissions are open all year, so there is no hard deadline pressure. That said, starting early gives you time to visit, ask questions, and make a considered decision rather than a rushed one.Get your documents together
Having your child’s birth certificate, previous school records, and basic details on hand will make the process straightforward.Spend time on the website first
Before reaching out, take some time to read about how Aurinko works: the curriculum, the approach, the school day. The more you understand about what we do and why, the better placed you will be to decide if it is the right fit for your family.Just ask
If you have a question about age eligibility, a specific grade, or anything, call or write to us. We would rather answer ten questions upfront than have a family go through the process uncertain.Next Step
Ready to Move Forward?
Once you have confirmed your child’s eligibility, the next step is filling in our admission enquiry form. From there we will set up a school visit and take it from there, together.
