It is the policy of St. Paul's School to ensure that each child admitted to the Kindergarten class is ready to learn the Kindergarten curriculum.

Age Requirement

In order to be assessed, a child must be age five (5) by December 1 of the school year.

Application Requirement

A St. Paul's School Application Form must be received by the last day in February in order for a child to be considered for a Kindergarten spot in the upcoming school year.  Contingent upon availability in the Kindergarten class, a second round of application and registration processing may occur in April.

St. Paul’s School Families

St. Paul's School, Preschool, and St. Paul's Church member families will be given order preference when considering admissions to Kindergarten.

Applications

Applications will be accepted until the last day of February.  Those who are not placed in the initial class will be added to a waiting list.  If, in the determination of the Admissions Committee, a child does not have the readiness skills needed for Kindergarten based on observation, assessment, and a preschool report, St. Paul's School reserves the right to deny admittance.

Kindergarten Readiness Assessment

The school administers a Kindergarten Readiness Assessment to determine readiness for school. Readiness includes specific assessment tools, language development, basic skills observations, preschool experience, familiarity with books, puzzles, playground games, blocks and other manipulatives, ability to follow directions, and experience with an established routine.

Notification of Acceptance

Families will be notified of an acceptance or wait-list, in writing, within two full work weeks after completion of all the above mentioned requirements.
