Students admitted to the school before December 31 will be placed in the grade level following the one that they had completed in their previous school system. If students are admitted after the school year has begun, they will be placed in the grade level, which they had been attending in their previous school system, even if this school year had been completed. Promotion to the next grade level at Benjamin Franklin will take place the following September.

Where there is a lack of clarity as to which is the correct grade level, then the student will be placed in the grade level, which is appropriate for the child's age. The Admissions Team will make the final decision in such cases.
