Welcome to the start of something beautiful
Choosing a school is one of the most meaningful decisions a family makes. We are honoured when a family considers VLC, and we want the admissions journey to feel like the beginning of a relationship rather than a transaction.
Admissions Process
Five steps, from first enquiry to enrolment.
Apply Online
Begin with the online application and tell us a little about your child and your family.
Information Session & Campus Tour
Visit the campus, meet our team and experience the environment and philosophy firsthand.
Interview & Assessment
A conversation with the family and an age-appropriate opportunity for our team to meet the child and understand their learning style, personality and rhythms.
Admission Decision
Decisions consider year-group availability and our responsibility to ensure that each child can be supported and thrive.
Enrolment
Once accepted, families receive the next steps for fees, documentation, seat confirmation and orientation.
