Enrollment is possible at any time during the school year, provided there are still places available. Children can enroll at our school from an Italian, foreign, or international school. A language assessment test and one or more meetings with the student help teachers determine the best place to begin the program. Students who enter with insufficient language skills receive individualized support lessons. Parents wishing to enroll can schedule an appointment with the school office for an initial orientation; school visits must also be scheduled through the office. Admission forms must be requested from the Secretariat and, once completed, must be submitted in original to the Secretariat. Registration is formal and valid only after payment of the Registration Fee. Admission is subject to available places, except for foreign students who, by school statute, must always be accepted into the school even if they are in excess of the number of places in a class.
