At Georgetown International Academy, our age guidelines ensure students are placed in the appropriate grade level for optimal learning.
To qualify for admission to Nursery Class, students must turn 3 by October 15 of the academic year for which they start school. We ask that students entering the Nursery and PK be fully toilet trained.
Please refer to the age guidelines below:

In most cases, students coming from schools where the academic year does not correspond with GIA’s August-June calendar (e.g., Brazil, South Africa, Australia) will continue in the same grade level when they enter GIA (e.g., a student who has completed grade 2 in Brazil and arrives midway through our school year will complete the rest of the year in grade 2 before moving on to grade 3.
To ensure a smooth and positive experience for all our young learners, we require that students entering Nursery and Pre-K programs be fully toilet trained.
