Grades PreK3 - 8
Q: What are the ages of each grade level of Gulliver’s Primary School?
A: In order to enroll in PreK3, children need to be three years old on or before September 1st of that school year. Children must be four years old on or before September 1st of that school year to enroll in Junior Kindergarten (Jr.K) and five years old on or before September 1 of that school year to enroll in Senior Kindergarten (Sr.K).
Q: Do Gulliver students wear uniforms?
A: Yes, even our youngest students wear the Gulliver uniform.
Q: Do children bring their lunch to school?
A: No. Gulliver provides lunch and all snacks to our students; it is included in the tuition. In Primary School, parents of PreK3 students select lunch items to be served to their child. As children gain independence in Jr.K and Sr.K, the students select their own lunch items. Beginning in first grade, students go to the cafeteria for their lunchtime. For more information on food services, visit Resources.
Q: Does my child need to be fluent in English to attend Gulliver?
A: Almost always, yes. The exceptions are for children in PreK3 and Jr.K; we find our youngest students learn English very quickly and are able to catch up by Senior Kindergarten.
Q: How do I find out more about the academic and extracurricular programs at Gulliver?
A: Contact the Gulliver Admissions Office at 305.665.3593. You may visit the campuses during events such as the Middle School Open House and our Primary School Week and Lower School Week, which feature campus tours. Additionally, informational materials are available via our website by clicking the Request Information button and completing the inquiry form. An e-mail confirmation will be sent which provides links to all informational materials. Materials also can be mailed to you directly. Individual appointments to discuss how Gulliver can enhance your child’s education, talents, and growth are also available upon request.
Q: How does the application process work?
A: You may complete the initial application form online and submit the Application Fee of $100.00 using a credit card, e-check, or Check Voucher. The online application packet lists items which the parent or guardian must submit directly to the Gulliver Admissions Office, including a copy of the child’s Birth Certificate (or visa if the child is a non-US citizen). Also included are forms that the parents or guardians must submit to their child’s current school. These forms are completed by the school’s personnel and submitted directly to Gulliver. If the child is not yet attending school or daycare, Gulliver does not require these forms. All applicants to Gulliver Schools must participate in admission testing.
Q: What is the deadline for applications?
A: Students applying to Grades PreK3-5 must submit all required documents by the last week of December/first week of January to be considered for Gulliver’s First Round Admission Review. Later applicants are processed and reviewed on a rolling basis with space permitting. Students applying to Grades 6-8 will be reviewed by the admission committee on a rolling basis as soon as their application is complete. Please see the Grades PreK3 - 8 Admission Calendar on our website for specific dates.
Q: If we apply on time, when will we find out if our child was accepted to Gulliver?
A: Students applying to Grades PreK3-5 under Gulliver's First Round Admission will receive their decision letters during the first two weeks of March. Students applying to Grades 6-8 will receive their decision letter 10 days after the Admission Committee reviews their completed application. We ask those students who are offered admission to enroll at Gulliver for the next school year within 10 days of receiving their acceptance letter.
Q: How can I obtain more information about the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program?
A: The Middle Years Program is offered to students in Grades 6 - 8. In addition to the Gulliver admission requirements, there is a separate application process for this program. For further details, please contact the Middle Years Program coordinator, Juan Carlos Garcia, at 305.665.3593, ext. 3528.
