Elea High Online School recommend that you familiarise yourself with the application process, the first stage of which should be to complete the online application form.
Assessment
Prior to entry, your child will be asked to undertake an online Cognitive Ability Test (CAT4). This is a diagnostic assessment that allows our teachers to understand how your child learns and what their academic potential might be. It allows our teachers to be able to adapt their approach to meet your child’s needs. Upon completion of the assessment, reports will be issued to the student, parents/guardians and teachers and you will have an opportunity to discuss the assessment results with a member of our team.
How to book the Assessment
Please contact our Admissions Team to arrange the online assessment. Parents will be asked to indicate their child’s availability during our testing windows. Candidates must have a quiet location, free from distractions, for the duration of the assessment. A computer with a working webcam and microphone headset will be required, our online supervisor will check that your device and location are suitable before beginning.
Admission Interview
An Academic Interview with our Principal is also part of our Admissions Process. This interview will be held after candidate has sat the CAT4 Assessment. This to help us get to know our students and give them the opportunity to ask questions about their studies.
