Ascham Old Girls and current families
Daughters of Ascham Old Girls and our current Ascham families will be given first priority for entry to either Prep, Kindergarten, Year 5 or Year 7, provided they apply by their daughter’s first birthday and adhere to the School’s enrolment procedures.
Overseas students
Ascham welcomes a small number of full fee paying overseas students who wish to study in Australia via a student visa.
Entry is available to overseas students in the formal entry years. Ascham will determine the Year group and courses appropriate for a student based on a compulsory visit to the School, examination, interview and information related to the student’s academic profile.
