Grant Memorial Presbyterian School

[kstt]

Seeing that Grant School in high demand, is there an early application process for children?

What is the earliest age you can apply for a child?

What documents are required when applying?

[skylinechild]

why not call the school and find out??
OP what happen to the schools that are in your district where you live?

every year is the same thing that happens with those " high profile" schools....grant memorial pres...exchange pres

btw if you want to get your child into one of those schools best best is to pass some change under the table for the principal...i kno the former principal of a school used to hold closed door "interviews" with the parents of said children taking children as far as debe and penal- cause mommy & daddy pockets deep.

everywhere you look now you have to grease the wheel for it to turn....oh well...what do i kno

A rotary dial telephone, c.1940s.
A telephone, or phone, is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a conversation when they are not in the same vicinity of each other to be heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and most efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals suitable for transmission via cables or other transmission media over long distances, and replays such signals simultaneously in audible form to its user. The word telephone has been adapted into the vocabulary of many languages. It is derived from the Greek: τῆλε, tēle, far and φωνή, phōnē, voice, together meaning distant voice.

First patented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell and further developed by many others, the telephone was the first device in history that enabled people to talk directly with each other across large distances. Telephones became rapidly indispensable to businesses, government, and households, and are today some of the most widely used small appliances.

The essential elements of a telephone are a microphone (transmitter) to speak into and an earphone (receiver) which reproduces the voice of the distant person. In addition, most telephones contain a ringer which produces a sound to announce an incoming telephone call, and a dial used to enter a telephone number when initiating a call to another telephone. Until approximately the 1970s most telephones used a rotary dial, which was superseded by the modern Touch-Tone push-button dial, first introduced by AT&T in 1963.[1] The receiver and transmitter are usually built into a handset which is held up to the ear and mouth during conversation. The dial may be located either on the handset, or on a base unit to which the handset is connected by a cord containing wires. The transmitter converts the sound waves to electrical signals which are sent through the telephone network to the receiving phone. The receiving telephone converts the signals into audible sound in the receiver, or sometimes a loudspeaker. Telephones are a duplex communications medium, meaning they allow the people on both ends to talk simultaneously.

A landline telephone is connected by a pair of wires to the telephone network, while a mobile phone, such as a cellular phone, is portable and communicates with the telephone network by radio transmissions. A cordless telephone has a portable handset which communicates by radio transmission with the handset base station which is connected by wire to the telephone network.

The telephone network, consisting of a worldwide net of telephone lines, fiberoptic cables, microwave transmission, cellular networks, communications satellites, and undersea telephone cables connected by switching centers, allows any telephone in the world to communicate with any other. Each telephone line has an identifying number called its telephone number. To initiate a telephone call the user enters the other telephone's number into a numeric keypad on the phone. Graphic symbols used to designate telephone service or phone-related information in print, signage, and other media include ℡ (U+2121), ☎ (U+260E), ☏ (U+260F), ✆ (U+2706), and ⌕ (U+2315).

Although originally designed for simple voice communications, most modern telephones have many additional capabilities. They may be able to record spoken messages, send and receive text messages, take and display photographs or video, play music, and surf the Internet. A current trend is phones that integrate all mobile communication and computing needs; these are called smartphones.

[Archlord]

Apply early and make sure everything they ask for is provided.

IIRC you'd need Birth Certificate, Proof of Address, Immunization cards, PreSchool Form. There may be other things but that's all I can remember at the moment.

"good" schools help, but your child can be successful regardless of the school they attend, you the parent must take a pro-active approach to their education, that includes being involved in the school, interacting with the teachers, familiarizing yourself with the curriculum esp from Std4 and providing your child with opportunities to become a well rounded individual by balancing the academia with extra-curricular activities

[pugboy]

some schools in pos like st monica's, you have to book when child born
if you lucky

[Gem_in_i]

To get into primary school these little children have to go for interview. My friend lives in San Fernando and her child didn't get into any of the schools she applied to.

Start attending services at the Presbyterian Church, take your child with you. Send child to Sunday school as well. Sing hymns, read scriptures and contribute to the collection plate. Make yourself known to the pastor/elders/other prominent church members.

Yuh eenside. Good luck

I agree, quality time spent with your child in his work and taking an interest has far more benefits than just sending the person to a "prestige" primary school. A sound education comes from a well rounded family and up bringing. I mean look at some of our leaders, the majority of the time is about determination and hard work not necessarily place and circumstance.

[jcrew]

Mamoo it have a number of schools In San-Fernando besides GMPS that are also good, such as TML, Vistabella Pres, Canaan Pres.

Kids get interviews to observed how they react with other kids in class. Then the parents get interviewed aswell to see how stable the family are and what they can bring to the school. Schools these days want parents input and commitment in helping the school. Some parents have to give their time in helping with school activities.

The desire of the OP is valid as are the perspectives of the quoted tuners.
The fact remains the demand for spaces at the specified schools is driven by the above average results achieved on a continuous basis and 'prestige' classification achieved.
Certainly,parents will shortlist possible schools for their kids based on performance,security,location,social attributes and affordability.This observation having been made,people with 'more' money and status will have best options list.
These are some simple facts of life which prevail in almost very sphere of our social and material existence.
