Admissions
Abe Halperin School subscribes to equal opportunity admission policy which makes it possible for learners of all ethnic, religious, racial and socio-economic background to enroll at the school. Admission forms are available on request for free. All new learners except learners under three years are made to write a standard academic test in Mathematics, English and Science.
The objective is to allow the school and the parent to know the level and also the strengths and weaknesses of the learner so as to offer the right class and remedial assistance where necessary. Admission is very competitive and parents wishing to enroll their ward(s) are advised to complete an application form and take the entrance examination well in advance.
The preferred age for admission varies depending on the classes and vacancies available. Learners of any age transferring from public and private (commercial) schools with proven academic records including cumulative records, transfer certificates and good testimonial are admitted after passing our admission examination.
A learner is admitted based on the outcome of the test. Participating in the entrance exams is not a guarantee of admission.

Like every other business, Abe Halperin School thrives on a budget. Payment of school fees on time enables us to make purchases and pay salaries of workers in a timely fashion. These are absolute requirements which enable us to run smoothly, meet your expectations and support your ward(s). Payment of school fees is done throughout the vacation period or the first week of re-opening.
For those paying on instalment, payment must be made in three installments, with the first installment done throughout the vacation or by the first week of re-opening. This plan does not include new admissions.
If payments are not received within a reasonable time or you are consistently late with your payments, we may find it necessary to take actions, which includes sending reminders, denying your ward(s) access to our facilities or withdrawing your wards admission.
There is a penalty for late payment of fees, which currently stands at 10% of the bill amount. This applies to all unpaid balances after vacation. Management also grants a 10% discount on all fee paid in full before re-opening. We encourage all our parents to utilized this opportunity.
We prefer all school fees to be paid through our bankers. However, for your convenience, we accept cheques. In the event that your cheque is returned to us for insufficient funds on two occasions, we will not accept any more cheque from you. You can also use our mobile money or short code options, if you are conversant with the process. We do not accept cash and no one is authorized to collect cash from parents.
