Complete your Online Application
Begin by filling out our online enquiry form. We will ask for some basic information about your child, their age, and your preferred session times. You are also welcome to tell us a little about your child’s personality, their interests, and any specific needs they may have. The more we know from the start, the better prepared we will be to welcome your child on their first day.
Once we receive your form, our admissions team will be in touch within two working days to confirm receipt and discuss next steps.
Screening & Welcome Meeting
We invite every prospective family for a brief screening visit to our Dream Campus. This is a relaxed, informal session where your child can explore the school environment while you meet with a member of our leadership team. For some year groups, this includes a short parent-child activity to help us understand your child’s current stage of development.
This visit is not a test, and there is no pass or fail. It is simply a chance for us to begin a relationship and to make sure Kangaroo Kids is the right fit for your family. We encourage you to ask questions, look around the classrooms, and get a feel for the school. Many families tell us that this visit is the moment they knew Kangaroo Kids was the right choice.
For families who are not yet in the Maldives, we are happy to arrange a virtual tour and video call with our admissions team as an alternative.
Confirm Your Place
Once the screening is complete, we will confirm your child’s place in writing. To secure the place, you will be asked to:
– Pay the one-time registration fee of MVR 2,000
– Complete and sign the school enrolment documentation
– Confirm your preferred session time
Your child’s session start date will then be agreed with the admissions team. We will also share information about what to expect on the first day, how our settling-in process works, and how we will keep you updated on your child’s progress throughout the year.
Documents Required
To complete enrolment, please have the following ready:
– Child’s birth certificate
– Parent or guardian’s national ID or passport
– Recent passport-sized photograph of your child
– Any relevant medical or dietary information
If you have any questions about the documentation required, our admissions team is happy to help.
