Welcome to Admissions

Choosing a school is an important decision—one that takes time and reflection.

At Jataka, we approach admissions as a process of getting to know each child and their family, and exploring whether there is a genuine alignment with our approach to learning.

We are a deliberately small school, and place value on curiosity, openness, and a shared commitment to a thoughtful approach to education: families come to Jataka seeking an education that is both rigorous and reflective.

For the 2026/27 academic year, we are accepting young learners aged 3–5, and applications for Years 1 and 2 (ages 5-7) for entry in 2027/28.

Ask a question

We’re excited that you’re interested in joining us. When it comes to education, one size doesn’t fit all, and we’re here to help you discern whether Jataka is the right choice for your child or children, and your family.

The display includes colorful graphics, images of nature, and icons representing meditation, exploration, mindfulness, and sustainability. The woman holds a bottle and a small object in her hands, and there are chairs and tables in the background.

Book an Open House

There's only one way to really experience Jataka, and that is to come and see us in action. We are currently holding monthly Open Houses off-site for those interested in the Early Years and Lower Primary levels.
