Admissions Process & Community

Joining the Sifundzani family is a straightforward and welcoming process designed to help families navigate enrollment with ease. Applications for Grades Two through Six are available in February of each year, while admissions for Grade One open in March. We work closely with feeder pre-schools to disperse information and clearly list all requirements, which include a birth certificate, immunization record, most recent school report, and a payment record from the previous school.

A key part of our process is the invitation for all applicants to participate in assessments held in October or November. This helps us understand each child’s needs and ensures a smooth transition into our learning environment. We encourage active community engagement and invite parents to witness the beauty of our campus firsthand by organizing a private tour through our Admissions Office. These visits, conducted during a school day, provide an authentic glimpse into the vibrant, supportive community where your child will learn, play, and grow. We believe that by building a strong partnership with parents, we create a thriving environment where every child can reach their full potential.
