Derogation Assessments
Academic derogation or early school entry is an exceptional measure extended to children born after September 30 who demonstrate advanced cognitive abilities and development, justifying their early enrollment in kindergarten or first grade. The goal of derogation is to prevent prejudice to the child and foster their overall progress and development. During the derogation process, a neuropsychologist assesses three key areas of the child’s development: intelligence, socio-emotional, and psychomotor abilities. A derogation is approved when the child exhibits skills that surpass those of their peers, and when it is believed that their current learning environment cannot sufficiently challenge them. Alternatively, delayed school entry is an option for children with below-average maturity or functioning levels, allowing their kindergarten entry to be postponed for a year.
