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. Consultation: You can contact the school, and they will be happy to answer all your questions. The admissions team provides guidance about the admissions process and required documentation. They explain criteria, timelines, and available programs. This initial contact helps determine the most suitable program and next steps.
2. Testing: Subjects: Russian language, English language, and mathematics. Applicants undergo testing to assess language proficiency and mathematics ability. The testing is part of the admissions process and helps determine placement. The admissions team will guide the applicant on the next steps after testing.
3. Contract signing: After successful testing, the enrollment contract must be signed. This formalizes admission and commits the family to the school's terms. The contract confirms a place in the program and outlines the enrollment conditions. The admissions team coordinates the signing and explains any relevant details.
4. Submit documents: The child's personal file, a copy of the birth certificate, and copies of the parents' passports must be provided.

5. Provide certificates: Medical certificates No. 026 and No. 063, proof of residence, and a 3x4 photograph are required. These documents verify health status and residency information.
