For 2025-26 admissions are still open and applications for 2026-27 have recently opened. Boarding applicants who require a residence permit should apply at least four months prior to the start date. Admissions decisions are based on a composite of age, prior academic performance, references, and an interview with the relevant Head of Section (PYP/MYP/DP). Primary School assessments are conducted by the Head of Primary School or PYP Coordinator and involve observation in core subjects and social development; Secondary School assessments include a General Admissions Test, an interview with the Head of Section, and an optional assessment day. Placement is determined by age, development, and previous performance, with siblings given priority. If there is no space in the appropriate class, applicants may be placed on the waiting list.

An EUR 400.00 Application Fee is charged; the Application Fee is non-refundable if a place is not held.
