Pentecost Genius School does not discriminate against any learner on the basis of race, creed, nationality or for any other reason but is open to all who meet the minimum criteria for admission and are able to afford the school fees. However, learners are expected to accept and uphold Christian ethos of the school and its values and submit to the school’s Code of conduct.
All candidates have to submit to school readiness tests/ entrance assessments.
1) The Pentecost Genius School Admission Policy will be strictly adhered to when we determine placement or not of a child. That means that we do not do favours or allow special dispensation for people because we do not believe one person is more important than another. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting their child admitted and no reason given is better or worse than the next.
2) Anyone who provides us with false information / documents disqualifies his/her child from being considered for this year or future years. We will hire a private detective to check information provided.
3) The language of Learning and Teaching at Pentecost Genius is English and parents completing forms will be required to rate their child’s ability in the language on a scale of 1 – 5 with 5 being very proficient and 1 being not able to communicate or understand the language. This rating must be done. As this is an English school children fluent in the language will be given preference.
5) Enrolment is accepted in Grade O and R but placement is not guaranteed as we may have many applications submitted and the Pre-School cannot accommodate too many children.
6) Please be advised that the vast majority of children already enrolled at the school will move up to the next grade. That means we CAN ONLY guarantee 30% to 50% chances of placement of NEW children from Grade 0 – 9 as these classes are partly subscribed. So unless one of our already enrolled children leaves our school we do not guarantee much available space in these grades but feel free to apply since things can change at any time to your favour.
7) Parents making applications for a child for Grades 0 – 7 do so knowing that the chance of their child getting placement is slim and therefore application at other schools is necessary. Please do not remove your child from any school unless ACCEPTANCE AT PENTECOST GENIUS SCHOOL HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.
8) Children of immigrant parents will not be admitted without an official resident permit, proof of work permit and a legal study permit for the child.
9) Any queries relating to admissions can be directed to the office clerk in writing, telephone or verbal at the school during office hours from 7am to 4pm daily (Monday to Friday).
