Age Guidelines
To qualify for admission to K3, a child must turn three by September 30 of the academic year in which they start school. Additionally, pre-primary students must be fully toilet trained. Prior to an admission decision, pre-primary applicants will be assessed to determine their readiness for the pre-primary program.

*In most cases, students coming from schools where the academic year does not correspond with Graded’s August-June school calendar (e.g., South Africa, Australia, South Korea) will continue in the same grade level when they enter Graded (e.g., a child who has completed grade 4 in Australia and arrives midway through our school year will complete the rest of the year in grade 4 prior to moving on to grade 5).
