1. If you wish to submit the admission application, click here.
2. Evaluation of the File: The admission process for the Initial Level is governed by the respective Directive that regulates this process. The Admissions Office reviews the applicant's file under that directive. This step determines whether the applicant meets the defined criteria for admission.
3. Vacancies: Admission is subject to the number of vacancies available. If the number of applicants who meet all the criteria exceeds the vacancies offered, the applications pass to a waiting list. This means there is a possibility of being placed on a waitlist.
4. Results: The results will be provided to the parents or guardians of the applicant by telephone. The admission process's sole purpose is to communicate whether admission has been granted or the applicant is on the waiting list. Reevaluation or any other information is not contemplated.
5. Acceptance of Vacancy Reservation: To finalize the vacancy, parents or guardians must present, within five (5) days of admission being granted: a photocopy of the voucher for the Entrance Fee; all documents requested in the enrollment stage in original, with the exception of the DNI; six color passport-size photos of the applicant.
6. Enrollment Information: Enrollment information will be sent to the parents via email after securing a vacancy. The school does not administer evaluation exams to children in Preschool and First Grade.
Waitlist: If the number of applicants who meet the criteria exceeds the number of vacancies, the applications pass to a waiting list.
