Questions to ask the school

  1. Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
  2. What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
  3. Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
  4. Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
  5. Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
