PRIMARY: Step 1: Pre-enrollment. Connect to the OpenApply site disgenoa.openapply.com and complete the online pre-enrollment form.

Step 2: Children who have pre-enrolled will be invited around February to the Orientation at the PYP. Step 3: Around March the families receive the enrollment contract. For children from primary schools that are private and not state-recognized or parity-based, admission to primary (PYP2-3-4-5) requires passing an eligibility exam by submitting the application to the secretariat by 30/04; the eligibility exams are organized in June. MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL: Enrollment is available in all years from MYP1 (Year 6) to DP1 (Year 11). DP2 (Year 12) is not accepted. Step 1: Pre-enrollment.

The form creates an OpenApply account and the family must keep the login credentials to access information and continue the process. A 50 Euro payment to the school is required. Step 2: Entrance test. Admission for middle and high school requires passing an entrance test, which takes place in our facilities around March. The school will announce the test date with one week's notice. The entrance test consists of three written tests (Italian, English and Mathematics) and a motivational interview. The Italian and English tests are in the respective languages; the Mathematics test is in Italian or English depending on the language chosen during pre-enrollment. Sessions can be organized for students living abroad in coordination with the Admissions Office. Step 3: Results. The results of the entrance exam are communicated via OpenApply within 10 days after the session ends. Admission follows the ranking according to places available; students eligible in the ranking but not admitted due to lack of places will be admitted only in case of withdrawals. In recognition of Academic Integrity, the school reserves the right to refuse admission to students whose conduct does not align with the policy. Step 4: Enrollment. Admitted students are invited to enroll by presenting the following documents by the deadline set by the school: a signed copy of the enrollment contract (sent by email), a copy of identity documents and tax code, and the latest report card. HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE TEST: For Italian test (to enter MYP1-4): base preparation on exercises similar to INVALSI tests (examples on invalsi.it). There are sites offering INVALSI-based tests as well, e.g. engheben.it. For MYP5 or DP1: you will be asked to analyze texts. English test preparation: use Cambridge English resources and practice listening/reading; watching English-language films/series with subtitles is suggested. Mathematics test preparation: use INVALSI resources and practice with online tools such as Invalsi resources and eu.ixl.com.

Results are communicated via OpenApply within 10 days after the test. Admission follows the ranking based on places available; students eligible in the ranking but not admitted due to lack of places will be admitted only in case of withdrawals.
