What to Do
How to Apply
Admissions at LightHouse Kindergarten are open year-round and there is no deadline for application. However, it is highly recommended that children are admitted for the beginning of each school year starting September 15.
We aim to provide all assistance for inquiring parents and we encourage them to contact us via phone or email to schedule a personal meeting and a guided tour around our facility. Meetings are held individually for each family to facilitate them in receiving all information needed for their decision to apply.
New students are admitted and placed in a specific grade level based strictly on their year of birth. Thus, for the school year of 2023-24 new applicants will be placed as follows:
- Level K3: Children born in 2020
- Level K4: Children born in 2019
- Level K5: Children born in 2018
- Level K6: Children born in 2017
LightHouse Kindergarten administers selective admissions policy and each child goes through a procedure of entrance assessment before being registered. All admissions are subject to availability of placement.
