Lycée Français de Manille

1. Express interest and initiate the online process. Registration and subsequent re-enrollment are conducted entirely online via the family-oriented Eduka portal. For new enrollments, you create an Eduka account and use the platform to begin the process.

2. Create your Eduka account and start the online application. The Eduka portal is the central entry point for the admissions process; new applicants select “Create an account” and proceed through the online forms. You will use Eduka to submit required information, upload documents, and track progress as you move toward a decision. Access to Eduka is provided through the link on the admissions page.

3. Prepare and upload the required documents. To complete the file, scan and upload PDFs or images of key documents in Eduka in advance to facilitate processing. Required items for students include a completed bilateral enrollment agreement for 2025–2026, a valid passport with the page showing the visa (when available), vaccination certificates (with the mandated vaccines), a certificate of schooling, and either a study booklet or progress reports for new entrants by level (and an Exeat if coming from another school), plus medical certificates and any plans for special needs if applicable. For the family/financier, provide passports, bank details, family register or marriage/birth certificates, and any custody documents if relevant.

4. Submit the International Section (SI) dossier and complete age-appropriate steps. The admissions dossier for the International Section includes a dedicated form set for Elementary, Collège, and Lycée, with an Educational Evaluation Form to be completed by the current school teacher. For admission to the International Section in Collège and in some cases other levels, the process includes a written test and an interview as part of the evaluation. The SI admission materials also include a favorable or unfavourable admission note from the teacher and school administration, and there is a section where the administration records the outcome (admitted or not).

5. Receive the admission decision and follow up if waitlisted. After the evaluation and tests, the administration issues a decision: admissé (admitted) or non admis (not admitted). If not admitted, there may be a note indicating a waiting list (liste d'attente). The form explicitly provides a space for the reason for non-admission and the potential waiting-list outcome.

6. Complete enrollment or re-enrollment and note financial requirements. If admitted, you proceed with enrollment and, for the following year, you must complete re-enrollment; the school states that re-enrollment is compulsory and not automatic, and remains contingent on all tuition fees being paid for the current year. Tuition and related fees are billed in a 40%/30%/30% rhythm across trimesters, with a refundable deposit, a non-refundable first registration fee, and additional costs such as transport and canteen paid to external providers. Payments can be made at the school's comptable office or online, and discounts are available for large families; late payments incur penalties. The process and fees are governed by the 2025–2026 financial regulations.

The admissions materials for the International Section allow for a 'Waiting list' option if a candidate is not admitted, indicating that a waiting list system exists. This is explicitly shown as a possible outcome in the administrative section of the SI candidacy forms. Details about waitlist management (such as duration or priority) are not published publicly in the available documents.

The Lycée Français de Manille participates in AEFE scholarships for the 2026–2027 cycle; the campaign is open and the deadline to submit dossiers is February 27, 2026 (strict). The AEFE scholarship information and supporting documents are provided to families (brochure, form, and list of required documents). Eligibility for AEFE scholarships includes criteria such as nationality and consular registration, and the process is managed through AEFE. In addition, scholarships granted by the French government may be available for eligible French nationals or families meeting income/assets criteria, with application forms obtainable at the French Embassy in Manila. The school also notes that the French-language Baccalaureate path (BFI) can provide access to scholarships in the USA and other international opportunities.
