Adaptation Period – 21 August until 21 September 2026
The adaptation of each child is unique. Although there’s no fixed time for adaptation, this is the estimated period of time when the school and home will pay extra attention to support the student’s social, emotional and physical needs in a new environment. The adaptation period for children joining us mid-academic year is 2 weeks.
