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 Visit. Schedule a visit to Maple Bear Kraków. The visit allows you and your child to explore the Maple Bear environment, meet the team, and gain a deeper understanding of the bilingual curriculum. During the visit, you will have the chance to ask questions and see classrooms in action. This step introduces families to Maple Bear's approach and helps assess fit.
2. Visit with Your Child. Parents are encouraged to visit the school with their child. This allows the child to get a feel for the school atmosphere and engage in introductory activities. Our team will also have the opportunity to observe your child in an informal setting, ensuring a smooth transition should they join the Maple Bear community.
3. English Language Assessment (if applicable). Depending on the grade level and the school's requirements, your child may be asked to complete an English language assessment. This assessment helps us understand your child's language proficiency and readiness for our bilingual program. The need for this test varies, and our admissions team will inform you if it is necessary.
4. Final Approval. Once all steps have been completed, including the school visit and language assessment (if applicable), our admissions team will review the application. You will be notified promptly regarding the admission decision. If approved, the next step will be to complete the enrollment process via our parents portal and prepare for your child's first day at Maple Bear!
