Admissions Process

Investing In Your Child’s Future

A School that offers a holistic education in a loving and caring environment is the greatest gift a parent can give to their child.

At Stanborough, candidates are not selected solely on academic ability. The resolve of the candidate and evident training from the parent are strong indicators in determining admission.
