International Student Enrolment

Classes 1 - 10

Application Procedures

Parents applying to the school for a place for their child/ren must be able to prove that one parent will be living with the child/ren for the entire length of the student’s stay in the school.

Waikato Waldorf School does not accept applications for any individual students where the students will be living separately from their parents – whatever the age. The school will, from time to time, check that the parent continues to live with the student. If this condition is contravened, the student will be required to leave the school.

These are the steps to follow when making an application for a place:

1. Parent submits the online enquiry form.

2. The school will contact the parents for a further discussion.

3. If there is still interest and places are available the school emails the parent an official application form: ‘Application To Enrol As An International Student’

4. Parent fills out the application form and returns it with all appropriate documentation.

5. If the school is able to proceed with the application it will email out the ‘Provision Offer of a Place’ letter, together with the ‘Tuition Agreement’ form.

6. The parent complies with all issues in these two documents and returns the ‘Tuition Agreement’ form to the school.

7. If the school is satisfied with these returns it will email out the ‘Offer Of a Place’ form. This document, which also functions as a receipt, is confirmation that the student may receive education at the school.

8. The parent applies to the New Zealand Immigration Service for a student visa and study permit for their son/daughter. As visa/permit processing can take some time, you should apply for the visas/permits at least 4 weeks before the start date of enrolment.

Please note that the student will not be allowed to attend classes without verification by the school that he/she has a current and valid New Zealand visa/permit.
