The school FAQ lists the Early Learning Centre for ages 3–6, primary school for ages 6–11 and secondary and Diploma routes thereafter. Separate childcare starts at three months and is excluded from the school-age filter. English is the teaching language; additional-language and mild-to-moderate learning support can involve extra charges. The FAQ states an upper Diploma age of 19, while the current fee regulations list Grade 12 as ages 17–18; the upper age is therefore not used as a filter until clarified. Boarding is described for pupils aged 14 and above.
