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. Schedule a campus tour or a one-to-one meeting. Families are invited to visit Milan World School through a campus tour or one-to-one meeting with our admissions team. This provides the opportunity to explore our facilities and better understand our curriculum and philosophy. Schedule a campus tour or a one-to-one meeting using the online calendar on our website.
2. Complete the application form. Following your visit, families will receive a link to complete the official student application form, which gathers essential background information.
3. Interview and evaluation. Early Childhood applicants may participate in a play-based session with teachers to observe developmental readiness. Primary applicants (Grade 1 and above) will complete assessments in English and Mathematics, followed by an interview to understand their learning style and readiness. The School may contact the student's previous teacher/principal.
4. Follow-up meeting with parents. After the evaluation, parents will meet with the admissions team to receive feedback, discuss the child's needs, and clarify mutual expectations.

Waitlist Policy: If a class is full, students may be placed on a waitlist and offered admission when a space becomes available. Priority is given to siblings of current students and to families transferring from abroad.
