Frequently
Asked Questions
Asked Questions
What is the admissions conversation like?
An honest, relaxed exchange. We ask about your child's routines and your family's values. You ask us anything. Think of it as a first meeting — not an interview. A campus tour is usually included
How long does it take to hear back?
We aim to get back to every family within one week of your conversation.
What is the settling-in process?
A four-week supported transition. Each week builds gradually — from a parent present on campus to the child exploring independently. Every child settles differently, and we honour that.
Does VLC follow a recognised curriculum?
Yes. Early Years follows the UK's EYFS framework. Elementary transitions to Cambridge Primary. Humanitas follows multi-board IGCSE pathways.
What age groups does VLC serve?
From age 2 (Playgroup) through to Grade 10 (age 15–16), spanning Preschool, Elementary, and Humanitas.
Is there a test for admission?
No. There is no entrance test. VLC's admissions process is based on a conversation and mutual fit — not performance under pressure.
How do I begin my child’s application?
Begin with our online application. A thoughtful first step where you share who your child is. This acts as your gateway into the VLC family.
