St. Kilian's wait times

    Hi all,

    We signed up our son to start in St. Kilian's German school in 2017. I'm trying to find out (for general life / house / moving decisions) how likely it is he will get a spot.

    Does anyone know what their wait times are like? I know they have different categories for students (native German / non-native etc).

    We've signed him up with German as mother tongue.

    Any replies greatly appreciated (to soothe my wife's fears). Thanks!

    Go into their website and view their policies. The enrolment policy says the prospective students are notified in the October of previous school year.

    Hi heldel00,

    thanks a lot for your reply.

    I'm aware of when I'll be notified. The point of asking now is to get an idea of IF we will receive a notification. If I know now, I can plan better than if I know less than a year before school begins.

    If anyone has any experience with St Kilian's wait times, it would be great to hear.

    Thanks!

    Ring and ask them.
    They should be able to give you a good idea.
    It is a fantastic school.

    I honestly never knew such a school existed in Ireland. It looks amazing. Best of luck Stern. I can see why you are so keen after having a look on their website.

    Mine go there. If you are down as German native you are pretty much guaranteed a place, well over half the kids have no German connections. They seem to be trying to intensify the German stream in the school as they get funding from the German government and they wernt up to scratch on that front. But yeah its a nice school , the Kindergarten in particular is fantastic as the classes are small 20ish kids and normally 2 teachers , the second being an assistant trainee teacher from Germany.
