We recommend that students entering kindergarten be five years old on or before October 1. All prospective new kindergarten students, regardless of age, are given an admissions test to determine their academic and social readiness. If parents wish to enroll a child that is not yet five years old on October 1, the child must test at a level that indicates that they are ready for full-day kindergarten. Students who test well above age level will be considered for enrollment. No child will be tested or considered for admission if they have not had their fifth birthday by November 1.
Parents should be advised that kindergarten is a rigorous academic and social development program. Even an intellectually gifted child may struggle with fatigue and staying on-task.
State law does not allow students who are not five years old on or before August 1 to receive an Indiana Choice Scholarship. Students who are ineligible for a Choice Scholarship may apply for an Indiana Tax Credit Scholarships and/or Tuition Assistance.
Students entering kindergarten are required by Indiana law to have a physical examination.
