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. Pre-Registration: Online registration can be completed throughout the year. Enrollment requires completion of an online pre-registration; pre-registration alone does not guarantee a place. Pre-registration begins the admissions process.
2. Introductory Meeting: After completing the online pre-registration, you will be contacted to schedule a meeting with a member of the Educational Management Team. During this meeting, you will learn more about the school project, conditions, and facilities. Ideally, both the student and the parent or legal guardian should attend this meeting.
3. Enrollment: Enrollment is finalized after confirmation of availability by the school. Once a place is assigned, the student's parent or legal guardian will receive a phone call, followed by a link with the steps to complete the enrollment process. To formalize enrollment, fill out the online enrollment form, submit the requested documents (student and parents' identification, vaccination record, etc.), and pay the enrollment fee.
