The Regulation for Application and Admission explains the framework of the admission process. The Educational Project outlines the school's educational approach and values.

The documents must be signed to be valid. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
Step 3: Complete online pre-enrollment and attach a digital copy of the birth certificate. Pre-enrollment is available starting Friday, April 11. The digital birth certificate must be attached to the online form. This step is required for the application to proceed.
