We Don’t Interview Children

We believe that formally interviewing and assessing children at this age is not informative. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed, and our teachers are highly trained to skilfully meet children where they are.
There are countless benefits to focusing on conversation and connection rather than formal interviews and testing. To us, the most important benefit is that prospective parents gain an authentic understanding of Ivy School experience and how truly special it is to be a part of our community.

The process

01

Take a tour

You may visit our school, families and children are invited to school before the child starts. The children are assessed as part of the admissions process. This is in the form of an observation and discussion with the families. It will help you and your kid to know the environment before making the final decission.

02

Observation

As part of your school visit, you will be invited to observe a classroom. The observation allows parents to see what is actually happening within the class. We also ask children to come and spend some time in the class.
We may request for the child to be observed in the class so to see how they behave with other children.

03

Discussion

Following the classroom observation, parents will spend time in a group discussion with leaders or teachers and admissions team. Not only does this conversation provide meaning and context for your observation, but it also allows our prospective parents to gain clarity about the culture of Ivy.
