“Parents or guardians who wish to send their children to boarding schools are advised to start applying through the e-platform with effect from November 1 up to 31 December 2022.
“An applicant, who has been offered a place at one school, will not be eligible to apply or be considered for a place at any other school unless the offer is declined,” he said.
Ndoro said applicants will have an option once declined at other schools.
“All applicants will be allowed to make a maximum of five active applications at any given time.
“Successful applicants will be notified through short message service by the respective school heads,” he said..

Once you apply to a school, your application can show any one of the following statuses:

NB: Once you decline an offer, there is no guarantee that you will get the same offer back.
The offering of a place is done randomly from your shortlisted schools.
