Affordability Check Process

Nova Pioneer conducts affordability checks as part of the enrolment criteria in order to do our part in ensuring that your child's educational experience and environment is sustained for the whole school year. Though not an exact science, we do our best by referring to past learnings.

The affordability check process consists of 2 aspects, namely:

Bank credit check
Manual check of payslips, bank statements, proof of residence and parent ID's. It is strongly recommended that household income is reflected in these documents.

Credit checks cannot be made on savings accounts nor on Capitec accounts, in those instances, you may will be required to submit further documentation over and above the proof of income.

The process cannot be initiated until all forms and documents are completed and submitted along with the full deposit. Affordability checks and verification may take up to 2 weeks to complete.

To submit affordability supporting documents please upload here to a secure finance form.

What is the difference between forms and documents?

Forms require that you fill in various fields for guardian 1 and 2, payer information and learner information whereas the documents consist of sending us the following:

· Student birth certificate

· Student report

· Student immunisation card

· Guardian 1 & 2 ID's

· Guardian 1 & 2 Proof of residence

· Payer's ID

· Payer's Proof of residence

· Payer's Proof of income (payslip and 3 months bank statement, can be joint income)

· Contract of enrolment

HOW CAN I SAVE MONEY AT NOVA PIONEER?

Did you know that there are multiple opportunities to save money on your fees?

If you opt for the annual plan you can save between R6,000 to R9,000 on tuition fees. Opting for the termly plan can save you between R2,000 to R3,000 a year. Here are some other ways you can save money:

Family Discount

The school offers parents a family discount. This discount will only be allocated to the fees from the second child onwards.

● The following sibling discount is offered on tuition fees:

○ Child #1: 0% discount on tuition fees

○ Child #2: 5% discount on tuition fees of the younger sibling

○ Child #3 and subsequent siblings: 10% discount on tuition fees of the youngest sibling/s

Referral Discount

The school offers all current Novaneer families a tuition discount of R3 500 (on their own child’s fees) for each new student referral. This discount will only apply if the student referred is successfully admitted to the school. This referral discount is only applicable to the first year of tuition fees. Where a successful referral is made by a family who has two children at the school, the discount will only be applied to the child in the lowest grade.

NB. In order to successfully benefit from referring a student, the referred parent must state that they were referred by you (name and surname) when they fill in the online application form in the ‘how did you hear about us’ section. There are some terms and condition. Read more...

STUDY VISAS

Why does my child need a study visa?

If your child is going to Grade 1 upwards and is not a South African citizen or a permanent residence permit holder, your child requires a study visa. Study Visas are issued for a particular school, should your child move to a different school you will have to apply for a new study visa.

If you fail to obtain a study visa, we are unfortunately required by law to de-register your child from our school. Please begin the application process immediately.

We will require proof of such an application to be emailed to admissions.ormonde@novapioneer.com before school starts.

If you are a PRP holder, please email the permit to admissions.ormonde@novapioneer.com.

How do I apply for a study visa?

Application for study visas can be made online through the VFS Global Visa and Permit Centre at http://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/. You can contact the centre telephonically at 012 425 3000.
