APPLICATION/ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Students may be enrolled in the Dervam School upon fulfilling the requirements for enrolment. Application materials and information may be obtained from the office of the Head teacher/Principal or the school website.

Minimum age for Kindergarten is 5 years as at 1st September and so on.
In the upper school divisions, placement is generally determined by age and by the last successfully completed grade indicated on school records. Along with age and previous achievement, there must be successful admission / placement testing.
In cases of concern, a student may be admitted on a conditional status. All classes are generally constructed in a heterogeneous fashion. Parental requests for specific teachers and or classes are not accepted.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Many students come to us from schools that utilize evaluation and placement systems different from Dervam. Because of this, it is imperative that a careful review of report is conducted in order to place students in the appropriate grades. The Head Teacher/Principal will provide initial screening with the Assistant Head Teacher / Vice Principal for each division making the final assessment.
The school retains the right to deny admission to any student dismissed from other schools or those who do not meet our admission requirement.
