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.
Start your admissions journey: The admissions process can be started at any time during the school year by contacting the school directly or by completing the online pre-enrolment form. Pre-enrolment does not guarantee a place. Assessment and Introduction Meeting: After the application, the candidacy is analyzed by the Pedagogical Direction. Parents or guardians will be contacted to arrange an introduction meeting, where they can learn about the school's educational approach, facilities, and environment. Ideally, both pupil and parent/guardian attend. Place Confirmation and Enrolment: Once the application has been reviewed and a place confirmed, the parent/guardian will be contacted with instructions to complete the enrolment. Enrolment is final once the service agreement is signed. The school reserves the right to admit pupils at its discretion, and the agreement may be amended during the school year if necessary. Waiting List: If applications exceed the school's capacity, an updated waiting list will be maintained. When allocating places, priority is given first to siblings of pupils already enrolled, followed by children on the waiting list in the order in which their applications were received. Complete your pre-enrolment easily through the online form.
