Because we feel we need an extra year in Primary to satisfactorily teach our students to read and write effectively in both English and Spanish, our students study a total of 13 years after Early Childhood rather than the traditional 12. For this reason, students applying from other schools must sometimes make an adjustment in their grade level. Normally, native-English speakers will be allowed to apply to the grade level that follows in numerical order from the one most recently completed.

That will not affect your scholarship in any way. It is typical that children transferring from public to private school will need "catch-up" time or in some cases even have to repeat a grade to come up to the level of their peers.
