Questions to ask the school
- What in-house learning-support specialists do you employ (SENCo, learning-support teachers, speech & language therapist, occupational therapist), and what is each one's caseload?
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- 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.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

Unit tests and quizzes, CTP5 test for grades 4-7, SSAT test for grade 8
SFPA administers a standardized achievement test called Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP5). The test is designed specifically for high-achieving schools and schools wishing to set high standards, therefore is used by the nation’s most rigorous academic schools. We are extremely proud to compare outstanding test results of our students who are among the top score takers, ranking among the top 1% nationwide in math, and the top 10% nationwide in all areas. The results are even more impressive if it is kept in mind that most of students who start SFPA in Kindergarten, have very little or no command of English at all.
