Step 3 — Student Visit or Assessment

For applicants entering Grades 1–8, we invite students for a Shadow Day and brief academic assessment.

• Shadow Day: Your child spends a day experiencing Redeemer’s classrooms and community. Students entering KBR and Kinder are 1/2 days.

• Assessment: We use in-house academic checks to understand each child’s strengths and readiness.

• These experiences help both families and teachers ensure Redeemer is the right fit.

Step 4 — Acceptance & Enrollment Confirmation

Once your child is accepted:

• You’ll receive an Acceptance Email from our Admissions Team.

• Early decisions made in February. Subsequent offers will be made on basis of availability.

• Acceptance Offer and Enrollment Package will be emailed to you.

• Pay the Enrollment Fee and New Student Fee to secure your child’s spot.

• Enrollment remains open year-round as space allows.

• Returning families enjoy simple, continuous enrollment — no need to reapply each year.
