Admissions

Colegio Maya’s mission is to provide a program that maintains and benefits from the international diversity of our community. We are a college preparatory school with a U.S. Curriculum that enrolls students without regard to race, creed, gender, national origin, or religious belief. It is our desire that all students succeed in this environment and we make every possible effort to accommodate for a variety of abilities and interests.

At Colegio Maya, we understand that the process of changing schools and/or moving to another country can be challenging and time-consuming. That is why we make every effort to streamline the procedures and assist you with this process. Please, if at any time you require assistance or need guidance regarding any of the information or steps listed below, do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach the Admissions Coordinator, Stefanie Mejia, by calling the school’s telephone (502) 6644-1200 ext. 246 or by e-mail at admissions@cm.edu.gt.

Admissions Process

Requirements

All students applying to Colegio Maya must satisfy academic and conduct requirements. Records will be evaluated during the admissions process, including academic performance, conduct, special learning needs, and the level of mastery of the English language - the primary language of instruction at Colegio Maya.

At Colegio Maya, we fully understand the importance of supporting individual differences and believe that this is possible when we work as a team (parents-teachers-principals-counselors) with the child’s best interest as our common goal. In order to best serve the needs of the students, we urge parents to give us the most accurate/complete information possible concerning the students' health and learning abilities/disabilities so that we can make an appropriate placement decision.

Age Requirements:

- Pre Kinder applicants need to be four (4) years of age on or before September 1 of the current year.
- Kindergarten applicants need to be five (5) years of age on or before September 1 of the current year.
- Grade 1 applicants need to be six (6) years of age by September 1 of the current year.

Process

The general steps for the Admissions Process are:

The Admissions Coordinator will provide Colegio Maya's Application Package to interested families.
The Application Package is submitted by the family. Please note all required documentation must be submitted in order to begin the admissions process.
Once the Application Package is received, the Admissions Coordinator will schedule a time for the admission assessment(s).
Once the applicant(s) have taken the admission assessment(s), the Admissions Coordinator will schedule a meeting with the respective School Counselor(s) and an interview with the respective Principal(s).
After the admissions assessment(s) and meetings, the Admissions Committee will review the information in order to make a final decision.

For Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Applicants:

The Early Childhood Center has an Admissions Day that helps determine early admissions. If interested families are not able to come to the Admissions Day, the general steps for the Admissions process will need to be followed.
