The process begins with a simple enquiry, either through the form on our website or by contacting us directly. We respond personally, share more about Marinela and answer any questions you have.

If you would like to proceed, we send you the Student Application Form and Family Questionnaire. Returning these marks the beginning of your formal application. Our team then arranges a relaxed meeting with our teachers, after which your child may be invited to join us for three gentle trial days. If our teachers feel the fit is right, we warmly welcome your family into the Marinela community.

Note: Little Seeds does not include Trial Days. Following review of the application, families may be invited to an introductory parent-and-child visit. A parent or caregiver accompanies the child throughout every Little Seeds session.

Tuition fees vary by programme and age group. Detailed information can be found on the fees section of our website or by contacting our admissions office.

We operate on a rolling admissions policy, meaning applications are accepted throughout the year. We recommend applying as early as possible, as spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our philosophy is rooted in holistic education and the Waldorf approach. We focus on nurturing the whole child – intellectually, emotionally, and socially. This ensures a well-rounded development that prepares them for life.

A completed enrolment contract and deposit indicate that you have accepted your offer of enrolment. The deposit is not refundable under any circumstances and is due upon signing of the contract to reserve a place.

A deposit equal to half of one term's standard tuition for the programme is required upon acceptance of a place for full-year enrolments. Short-term families are not required to pay this deposit. The deposit may be applied toward the last term's tuition at the school's discretion, and we kindly ask for one full term's notice should enrolment be cancelled. The deposit continues to roll forward each year the child remains with the school.
