Joining Akhepran, step by step
Choosing a school is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. This page sets out everything you need, from your first question to your child’s first day.
The process
Four steps to enrolment
New scholars join at every grade from 1 to 12. The steps are the same for everyone.
-
Get to know us
Contact admissions, ask for the school brochure and read it in full. Visit if you can, and bring your questions.
- Read and sign the Commitment Statement, Technology Contract, Tuition Contract and Student Handbook.
-
Placement exam and interview
Return the placement exam registration form with the exam fee. We schedule the exam on request.
- Every family then meets the Principal. The interview is required, and both the scholar and a parent attend.
-
Apply and register
Once you have the exam results and decide to go ahead, submit the Student Application with the registration and enrolment fees.
- Fees can be paid at the bank or by online transfer.

Complete enrolment
Pay the first tuition instalment and return the remaining forms. Then prepare your child’s device, uniform and supplies, and join us for orientation.
