Admissions Policy

Pechersk School has an Admissions Policy designed to ensure that enrollment is consistent with the purpose of the school and the needs of both applicants and the existing student body.

Children of all nationalities may seek admission to the school.  Prospective applicants will be considered unless there is reason to believe that admission is not in the best interest of the applicant or the school.  Students with special educational needs will be accommodated with the expectation that the student will be mainstreamed.

Whenever it is not possible to accommodate all qualified applicants because the classes are filled, priority of enrolment will be determined by the school Director according to the following guidelines:

1. Returning students in good standing who have completed re-registration by May 1.
2. Siblings of returning students in good standing who have completed the registration guidelines by May 1.
3. Date of submission of completed registration for dependents of foreign embassy staff and international students with no obvious alternative education provision in Kyiv
4. Date of submission of completed registration for other students with priority
based on academic competence and English proficiency.

In addition, there are restrictions relating to class size, the number of students in each class with minimal or no facility in English language, and to Special Needs to ensure that academic standards and needs are fully met.

Class Placement

Initial student class placement will be determined by the Principal upon the recommendation of the PSI professional staff.  The primary factor to place students will be the age of the student.  Previous reports, grades completed and testing may also be requested to assist the Principals in making an informed decision.
