Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Online application: The school uses a fully online admissions process; paper submissions and email submissions are no longer accepted. All applications must be submitted through the online application system at postula.wessex.cl, and vacancy availability is checked for each level. The admissions process is free of charge. 2. Infants area: The Infant levels are Tiny Tots (2 years old), Play School (3 years old), Pre-Kínder (4 years old), Kinder (5 years old); the required age is as of March 31. Applications are received at the rectoría's secretariat from 08:00 to 16:00, and online submissions are accepted within the same hours. After the documents are received, families are invited to an interview with the Head of Area and/or Academic Director to share educational guidelines and assess the family's commitment to their children's education. Five days after the interview, the admission decision is emailed; if accepted, there is a seven-business-day window to finalize enrollment. 3. Junior and Senior areas: Junior covers 1st to 6th grade of Elementary; Senior covers 7th to 4th Medio. After the reception of applications (documents described in the Application Form), a date and time will be set to take admission exams (English, Mathematics, and Language). First grade only takes a diagnostic exam. An interview with the applicant's parents is scheduled; in the Senior area, there is also an interview with the student and the parents by the Head of Area and/or Academic Director. Exam results are communicated no later than seven business days after the exams. 4. Fees: The Aranceles page provides information on tuition and related charges.
