The process involves:

submission of a copy of your daughter’s end-of-Grade 6 school report
an interview with the College Head, involving you and your daughter
an overnight stay and participation in our Academic Benchmarking Tests (English and Mathematics). This normally occurs in the first half of May. Provision is made for girls to write the Tests outside the country, provided the previous two points have been addressed
written confirmation of acceptance of an offer of enrolment at St Anne’s, together with payment of an Enrolment Fee, by the due date
completion of an Enrolment Contract and submission thereof by the due date

ADMISSION CRITERIA

An Admissions Selection Committee considers various criteria when offering a girl admission to St Anne’s.

The admission criteria include:

results in the Academic Benchmarking Tests
the quality of her Grade 6 report
notes made after the interview with the College Head
family ties
a girl’s special talents
the specific needs of the College

TERMLY, WEEKLY or DAY BOARDING

Which option is for you?

Boarding intake: approximately 60% Termly Boarders and 40% Weekly Boarders
Weekly Boarding is applicable, at the discretion of the College, only to girls whose permanent home address is within an approximate 100km radius of the College (for example, Umhlanga, Isipingo, Estcourt and Bulwer)
Day Boarders – a minimum of 16% of the total intake each year. This group forms a very important part of the St Anne’s community and generally benefits from the fact that St Anne’s is a boarding school

Financial Assistance is available to parents who cannot afford the full fees. Application Forms are available upon request from the Admissions Office (once the applicant has been registered) and should be submitted by 20 April of the applicant’s Grade 7 year.
