Admissions Policy

Admissions Policy 2024

Objective

The admissions policy of Churchill School & College discloses the general procedure and the requirements necessary for the admission of the student.

The admission process is consistent with the educational model of Churchill School & College since it evaluates the candidates in a comprehensive manner and recognizes the importance of involving the family in the educational process of the student.

We understand that one of the most important decisions as a family is to choose the best educational option for your sons or daughters. For Churchill School & College, each new entry into our educational community represents a long-term mutual commitment between the student, his or her family, and the College. This relationship must be one of collaboration and respect and provide permanent benefits, both for the student body and for their families and the College itself.

We trust that, through our admission process, families, as well as the College, will determine if Churchill School & College is the best option for each person.

By being part of Churchill School & College, families understand that the School offers a comprehensive education through its academic, wellness and prevention programs, so all students without exception participate in the activities, conferences and workshops scheduled by the School.

At Churchill School & College, a balance between academic performance and the development of socio-emotional skills in our students is promoted; therefore, there is no scholarship program for academic merits. The School has a support system through SEP scholarships, for families who are suddenly going through an extraordinary situation and their economic stability is temporarily affected. This support is granted for one school year and applies from the second year of entering the School in any grade with the exception of Nursery and Pre-first.

General Procedure

Waiting List

The School has a waiting list to consider admission to the consecutive school year starting on the first business day of September.

Children of Churchill School & College staff, as well as siblings of students at the School and former students have priority on the waiting list, in the order mentioned.

This priority is maintained as long as both students remain enrolled. If you choose not to use one of the places, the other candidate will be included on the waiting list with the corresponding place on it.

We are open to receiving applications for those interested in entering during the current school year, subject to availability.

Follow-up and information related to the admission process is provided only to the mother, father or guardians of the student registered on the waiting list.

Churchill School & College is an inclusive School, where the individuality of each of the candidates is respected and valued and therefore, the admission evaluation is comprehensive.

The decision of the area board regarding the admission of a candidate is final. If the family disagrees with the result of the admission process, they can request an appointment with the General Management.

Churchill School & College offers induction to new families before the beginning of the school year. They are invited to talks and/or workshops where they can learn more about communication, operation and procedures within the School, as well as become familiar with the Churchill community.

REGISTRATION PROCESS: The 10 steps that must be taken into account to begin.

All families interested in beginning the admission process for their children are asked to:

1. As an essential requirement, register your child on the waiting list through the School's website. Go to www.churchill.edu.mx select the admissions tab, go to the waiting list section, fill out and send the form.

2. Wait for the confirmation email from the Admissions Department.

3. Attend an information meeting organized by the Admissions Department or take a tour of the School in which, in addition to getting to know our facilities, information is shared about the educational model and the day-to-day running of the School.

If there are places available, interested families will be contacted and invited to continue with the admission process, which consists of:

Exam (1st grade of Primary to 3rd grade of High School) with a cost of $1,850, which is non-refundable regardless of whether the student is subsequently enrolled or not. This cost must be covered before the exam day.
Visiting day
Family interview
Psychopedagogical evaluation

Likewise, for admission from 1st grade of Primary to 3rd grade of High School, they must submit the following documents in order to continue with the process and correctly assign the admission grade:

Academic report
Socio-emotional skills report

In order to start the admission process, it is necessary to pay for the admission exam from 1st grade of Primary to 3rd grade of Secondary, as applicable. This step applies to all families, that is, new students, former students and siblings of students of the School who are about to begin their admission process.

*The application of these exams does not guarantee the candidate's admission. This is one of the admission requirements and the evaluation process. In the event that the School or the family decide not to continue with the admission, this payment is not refundable.

Evaluation:

How we evaluate each person:

Family Interview: Virtually or in person, we request an interview with a member of the leadership team of each area. Depending on the grade, it is done with tutors alone or with a student. The admissions department will indicate in which case each one applies.

Admission exam (applies from 1st grade of Primary to 3rd year of High School).
Visiting day: the student spends a day in regular classes in the grade he/she is currently in. During this day, a psychopedagogical evaluation is carried out.

Notification of the School's decision.
Once these steps have been completed, the School will notify the decision, taking into account the process in a comprehensive manner.

Submission of documentation
Once accepted, the family agrees to send the following information within a period of no more than 10 business days. If the documentation is not submitted in a timely manner and the emails requesting information are not answered within this period, the process will be closed and if they wish, they will have to register again on the waiting list to restart the process, taking into consideration that there will be new people on the waiting list before them.

The documentation to be submitted is the following:

If an invoice is required, they must send their Tax Status Certificate with a date no older than 3 months. If it is not sent or if it is sent late or after the registration payment date, the invoices will be issued with the student's name until the tax information is updated by the families. Once the initial invoices have been issued, there is no possibility of re-invoicing. These are: registration fee, enrollment, educational services, which are also not tax deductible by the SAT.
Proof of address no more than 3 months old.
