Nursery, Pre-Kinder and Kindergarten applicants must take the readiness or placement test. They are given one year to meet the prescribed standards of the school for academic skills, work habits and attitudes. If they are unable to show readiness for the next level, further assessment and evaluation will be done, and enhancement program is required.

These are some of the skills thatstudents must be able to express during the assessment: The child must be independent; He/she must be able to eat by himself; He/she should be able to communicate his needs clearly; He/she must be willing to come to school and to the classroom unaccompanied.
