Foundation

At what age do you enrol for Foundation?

We do not offer early entry. We offer entry from school commencement age, and place according to their ability.

For example, if a student is ready for Year 1 Mathematics, they will be able to access the Year 1 Mathematics class while remaining in the Foundation class for other subjects. For each Foundation intake, the applicant must be 4 years and 6 months old by the 30th of April the year they commence at Dara (see Enrolment Intake Application Timelines table below for dates). If they will be older than 5 years old, please see the Years 1-12 Applications page.
