Following a parent tour of Star Academy and a meeting with the Principal, an application package is submitted.  An application package includes:

1. A completed application form.
2. A $125 application fee.
3. Copies of past two final report cards and all current year report cards.
4. A copy of any Educational or Professional Assessments.

Following receipt of your application package, a visit will be arranged for your child to spend a day at Star Academy with the current grade class.  During their visit they will experience a regular day as a Star student. Kindergarten applicants may visit for a half-day or a full-day.

After the student visit, a follow-up meeting or phone call will be arranged with the Principal to discuss your child’s visit to the school and answer any further questions about how our programming will benefit your child.

Star Academy offers small class sizes from Grades Pre-JK through 8.  Class sizes vary by Grade, with up to 18 students in Kindergarten (with a teacher and assistant) and up to 16 students in Grade 1-8*.

Prospective students for our Academic Programme must demonstrate all of:

(i) the ability and the motivation to achieve academic excellence;
ii) an independently-motivated work ethic;
(iii) an enthusiasm to participate in a variety of events and activities including sports, clubs and leadership; and
(iv) the emotional and social skills necessary to co-operatively participate with minimal staff supervision, within our school environment and culture.

Both to ensure student success, and to confirm our ability to comprehensively meet student needs, the first one (1) month of a student’s enrolment will be specified to be a probationary period. Star Academy will ensure that each probationary student has reasonable opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and to actualize their potential. These opportunities will include all of a testing of the student’s skills, the student’s ability to work in harmony with others, and an assessment of the student’s future likelihood to succeed while enrolled in Star Academy. Probationary admission will be reviewed after the completion of one (1) month, and Star Academy will then confirm (or not) the successful completion of this probationary period, and the continued (or not) registration.

*Star Academy reserves the right to determine appropriate class size based on the needs of students in a particular class.

Students new to Star Academy have a one-time application fee payable on the day of the student visit.   There is a one-time new student registration fee to be paid upon enrolment.  Annual fees may be paid in one, three, or eight instalments.  Download our 2025-26 Fee Schedule

Individual and group tutoring, social skills programmes, private music and tennis lessons are all invoiced separately from our regular school tuition.

Additional expenses include items such as overnight field trips (Intermediate and Senior classes), lunch and pizza lunch programme, and uniforms.

A small bursary fund is available annually and is considered on a first-come limited application basis. Star Academy uses a third-party system, ISM Fast, to evaluate the application for financial aid. Please visit ISM Fast if you are interested in applying for a bursary.  There is a $60 US fee from ISM to process your application.

Our school uses FAST from Independent School Management (ISM) to process financial aid applications.

FAST provides our school with a need-based financial analysis, allowing us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly. All information from FAST regarding a family’s request for financial assistance is kept confidential.

The FAST application for financial assistance will be available in October at apply.ismfast.com.
