Our Admissions

Admissions are open for learners from Grades 0 to 7. We accept admissions all year long and learners can join the Blue School at any time. We currently have one fully-funded scholarship place to offer to a learner in Grade 2 or 3 (see below).

From 2024 we are expanding to offer up to Grade 12 (subject to approval of our registration application by the Ministry of Education). If you are looking for Grades 8-12 please get in touch at info@luderitzblueschool.com for more information.

01.

As a first step, parents/guardians should complete an Application Form Forms can be collected from the school office or downloaded from the website and returned via email or hand delivery. Please note: certified copies of the child’s birth certificate, as well as their most recent report card must be attached. There is also an Application Fee of N$300 to be paid via bank transfer to the school.

02.

Selected children will then be invited into school for a Trial Day(s). During the Trial Day(s), children will have a school tour and participate in the regular timetabled lessons and playtimes. They will also be required to complete an independent online aptitude test. This is not a test of what the child knows so much as an assessment of how they learn.

03.

Following the Trial Day, a member of the school management will contact parents to inform them whether the child has been successful. If a place is to be offered to the child, the parents will be invited in for a meeting with a member with School Management to discuss the next steps and receive all necessary paperwork. We will endeavour to inform parents whether their child has been successful or not within 7 days following the Trial Day.

Please note: If a place is offered, parents/guardians are required to pay an upfront registration fee of N$2500 for the child to join the school. This is a once-off non-refundable payment. For more information, please refer to the Fee Policy

Scholarship Places

The Lüderitz Blue School would like to make a top-class education available to as many children in Lüderitz as possible. We therefore offer a number of fully-funded scholarship places. The scholarship places available will increase in proportion to the number of enrolled learners at the school.

We currently have scholarship places available in Grades 3 or 4. The application process is the same as above but parents should enclose a 'motivation letter' that sets out why they are applying for a scholarship place and why they think their child would benefit from it. Please see the scholarship policy for more details.
