Admissions Process

Requirements

All students applying to Colegio Maya will undergo a thorough admissions procedure to ensure that they meet the Colegio Maya student profile. Multiple data points will be considered during the admissions procedure, including but not limited to student/family background, academic performance, social-emotional aspects, conduct, and learning needs.

In order to best serve the needs of your child, we urge parents to give us the most accurate, complete information possible concerning the student’s learning abilities/disabilities and health so that we can make an admissions decision and determine appropriate placement. Any relevant information that is not disclosed at the time of the admissions procedure may be grounds for reversal of admissions decisions at any time.

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

Our general admissions procedure is as follows:

1. Submission of documentation.

2. Admissions Assessments: Assessments will be conducted in English - the primary language of instruction at Colegio Maya.

If necessary, additional screening may take place for fluency in written and oral English and/or for special learning needs. See below for more information on ESOL and LS services.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Services: For students with limited English proficiency, the school provides intensive English instruction from grades 1-5. The goal of ESOL instruction is to promote the academic English language proficiency skills that students will need to succeed in content area courses and receive a diploma from Colegio Maya.

Learning Support (LS): Colegio Maya provides services for students diagnosed with mild specific learning disorders from grades 1-8. Students requiring services in the LS must have a psycho-educational evaluation that includes an evaluation of the intellectual potential, academic achievement, cognitive processes, and the emotional profile.

Additional fees are required for students who attend the ESOL and LS programs for an amount established by the Board of Directors. Enrollment may be restricted based on available staff, resources, and classroom space.

3. Social - Emotional Interview with designated School Counselor.
4. Applicant/Family Interview with designated Principal.
5. The admissions decision, including the proper student placement, will be communicated to parents as soon as the admissions committee has evaluated all the materials and reached a decision.

Please note the admissions procedure will not begin until all the required documentation has been submitted.
