Assessment & Readiness

Stratford School welcomes students throughout the school year, provided there is space available in the desired program, and the child is grade level ready. All students in kindergarten and above will be assessed to confirm readiness.

In addition, we utilize the following age cutoffs:

  • Preschool: Students must be at least two and a half years old and toilet trained at time of enrollment.
  • PreK and Kindergarten: December 2 is the cutoff date for students to reach four years of age for PreK and five years of age for Kindergarten.
  • Transitional Kindergarten: Students are eligible for TK if their fifth birthday falls between September 2 and February 2.

Enroll

Upon successful completion of the assessment, students will be offered admission as program availability allows. If there is no availability in the desired program, the student will be added to a wait list by application date.

We are excited that you are considering Stratford School for your child’s education. If you have questions at any time during the admissions process, please call the Admissions Services team at 408-973-7321.

If you haven’t already done so, please schedule a tour at your desired campus.
