Admissions Information

Detail About How To Apply

Petra College is a family, one where every individual has equal and a unique set of skills and passions that we want to develop. We are all unique and our academic and vocational programmes ensure that we provide the best opportunity for our students to find their potential.

From ECD A to Upper 6, we are committed to encouraging and enabling your child to find their passion, seek their purpose and work with the challenges that come their way.

Entry Assessments

Applicants may be required to take an assessment to ascertain whether they have achieved the standard for admission to the particular grade/form they are applying for. The results of the examination do not exclude children with special learning needs as Petra College has appropriate facilities and inclusively accommodates learners with learning problems.

Priority Consideration

Priority consideration is given to whether your child has siblings at Petra College or he/she is the child of a Petra Alumni.
For students moving across from the Junior School, their transfer is automatic, thought we will require the parents’ written confirmation.

Transfer Students

We have defined transfer students as those who have spent at least one term at another institution (anytime from Grade 1 – Form 4) and have chosen to transfer to Petra College. In addition to fulfilling the admissions requirements for their specific grade/form, all transfer students will also need to submit the following requirements:

  1. Most recent school report
  2. Petra College Letter of Transfer (Download here)

International Students

All international students must have a valid Scholars Permit before enrolling. An offer letter from the College will be needed when families go to the Immigration Offices. The college will need visa confirmation from immigration before the student can take up the place.
