PRE-KINDERGARTEN AND KINDERGARTEN
ADMISSION PROCEDURE FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2024 – 2025

We thank you for your interest in considering our school, Immaculate Conception Academy, for your daughter. The primary goal of the Admission Committee is to offer enrollment to students who will be a good fit and be able to thrive at Immaculate Conception Academy. All applicants are required to undergo an ONSITE screening process which includes an Admission Test. While the results of the Admission Test is the primary factor for consideration, we also look into the previous academic performance (if applicable) of the applicant, recommendation of a former teacher/counselor (if applicable), and more importantly, the desire of the parents to support the mission-vision of our school.

Please note that previous schooling in a nursery or preschool is a requirement for Kindergarten applicants. While it is not a prerequisite for Pre-Kindergarten applicants, it is still highly recommended.

In compliance with the regulations stipulated in the Department of Education’s Order no. 47, series of 2016, our school STRICTLY adheres to the mandated age requirement. We urge you to thoroughly review the eligibility requirements before proceeding with the application process.
