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.
Step 1: Interview. All families are asked to interview, either via an online meeting or during an in-person campus visit. Prospective students may attend but are not required. Families applying to primary school are encouraged to email recent school reports (up to two years) ahead of the interview to expedite the admissions process. Kindergarten applicants do not need to provide school reports.
Step 2: Admission Outcome. Following the interview (and receipt of school reports where applicable), our admissions team will confirm the application via email.
Step 3: Confirming Your Place. If the application is successful, the enrolment form will be shared for completion. Your student's place is secured upon return of the completed enrolment form and payment of the €400 non-refundable enrolment fee. Please note that advance payment of the registration fees is non-refundable. However, in accordance with applicable law, you have the right to cancel within 7 days (Article L.121-19 of the French Consumer Code) by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
Step 4: Admissions Criteria. Applications are welcome regardless of a student's proficiency in French or English. Language development is observed during the first weeks of school. Admissions criteria include motivation, openness and alignment with our educational values and academic history.
