Admissions and Enrollment

Admissions

As an expression of our Christian philosophy, Emmanuel Lutheran School admits students of any sex, race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Emmanuel does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, and other school administered programs. Emmanuel Lutheran School is operated for the children of Emmanuel Lutheran Church as well as the community

Kindergarten Enrollment

The staff at Emmanuel recognizes that most children are more successful if they are five years old when entering kindergarten. Children who are 5 years of age on or before August 1 will be eligible for our kindergarten. Children who turn 5 years of age between August 2 and December 31 will be eligible for our kindergarten on a space available basis.

Incoming kindergartners are required to participate in an Observation Day scheduled in March. Children interact with peers and teachers through stories, outside play, art and free choice activities. They will also participate in a developmental screening test to determine readiness for the kindergarten year.

Application Procedures

  • Submit an application for each student, accompanied by a registration and test fee. Other fees and their due dates are on the tuition schedule given to prospective parents.
  • Provide verification of child’s age, an Evaluation Form completed by child’s current or previous teacher, and a copy of the child’s most recent report card.
  • After submitting these forms, you will be asked to schedule a time for your child to come to school to interact with one of our teachers and also to complete a brief placement test.
  • Acceptance letters will be sent out by April 15 or within two weeks of completing the above steps.
  • Upon acceptance to Emmanuel, request transfer of school records from former school and provide health records. (The State of Hawaii requires that we have possession of the necessary health records before a child attends class.)
  • Final registration is completed on registration week in July.
  • All new students admitted to Emmanuel are accepted on probationary status pending first quarter review.
