Stamford follows an August 31st birth date cut off for the academic year. Please see the table below as a guide to match your child’s date of birth with the appropriate grade.

Please note: We consider your child’s last completed grade and overall development for final grade placement. For high school admissions, completed course credits will also impact final grade placement.

Currently, Stamford is accepting applications for 2025/26 and 2026/27 August entry . After submitting your application, our admissions experts will contact you after reviewing the applications.

We also welcome applications for future years of entry and consider applications in priority of application date. Applicants for future entry years will be acknowledged and then contacted in September of the applying year for further steps.
