Admissions Procedure

Basic Education Departement

Republic Act (RA) 10157 also known as the “Kindergarten Education Act”, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) state that enrolment in Kindergarten “shall be made mandatory and compulsory for entrance to Grade 1”, effective School Year 2012 – 2013.

At SFAC, the Kindergarten level specified in RA 10157 and its IRR refers to the Kindergarten level, and not the Pre- Kindergarten level, which is also offered at SFAC/SAS.

As per DepEd policy, only children who are 5 years old are eligible for enrolment in Kindergarten classes.

Age Requirements:

Nursery          

  • at least 3 years old on the opening of classes until the last day of the third month after the opening of classes of the intended year of enrolment.

Scenario: If the opening of classes is June 1, the child should be at least 3 years old within June 1 to September 30.

 

Pre-Kinder

  • at least 4 years old on or before the third month of the school year commencing from the opening of classes.

Kindergarten
