Objectives

The objectives of the admissions process are to ensure that the learners and/or their families are the right fit for School of Humanity’s unique curriculum and progressive model. While our educational philosophy is aligned with best practices, the policies outlined below recognize that the model is not a fit for everyone.

The application process is also a way for learners to evaluate whether the program is a fit for them. If learners and/or guardians request further information at any point during the admissions process, the admissions team must share this information accurately and in a timely manner.

Confidentiality

All information and documentation shared by learners and/or guardians during the application and admissions process are to be treated as confidential and are only to be processed by the Admissions & Learning teams in order to evaluate candidates. Only details of accepted learners are to be shared with cohort coordinators in order to enable a smooth onboarding process.

Inclusivity Statement

School of Humanity treats all candidates as equal regardless of race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender, physical ability, or political orientation. Candidates are evaluated on whether they meet the application criteria below regardless of the above factors.

Application Process

All candidates are required to submit the written application form for their relevant program in order to be considered to join School of Humanity. All candidates are required to participate in an interview if they are shortlisted by the admissions team.

For candidates for the High School program, an interview should also be conducted with the guardians to ensure that the program is a fit. Should candidates refuse to schedule an interview, their application will be rejected.
