Information on Application for Admission to Kindergarten

School Year 2013-2014

I. POLICY 1. All applicants to Xavier Kindergarten are required to go through the admissions screening process.

All applicants are required to undergo Vision and Hearing Screening Tests. 3. Parents will be informed of application results, but details of actual test scores will remain confidential.

II. GENERAL NORMS

1. A boy is evaluated primarily based on his own merits. However, a weighted system gives due consideration to an applicant who is a son of an alumnus or who has brother in Xavier School. 2. The following areas will be considered in screening the applicant : a) Attention Span ("Can the boy sit through a 15-30 min. task?") b) Interpersonal Skills ("Can the boy get along with others?") c) Communication Skills in English and Filipino: Comprehension ("Can the boy understand what is asked of him?") Expression ("Can he articulate his needs?") Competence ("Can the boy understand and follow directions/instructions?") d) Self-Discipline ("Can the boy finish a given task?") e) Stress Tolerance ("Can the boy participate actively in group activities even when under the normal pressure of multiple instructions and activities?") f) Does the boy know his letters, numbers, basic shapes? 3 The school also takes the following into account: a. the willingness of the parents to collaborate actively with the school in the education and formation of the student (which includes the parents acceptance of the school policies, especially those found in the student handbook); b. the willingness of the applicant and his parents to be involved in important school activities; c. the extent to which the applicants family environment is open to and supportive of of the Catholic values espoused by the school.
