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.
01 Fill out the admissions form and attach the student's documentation (school reports and any reference letters from previous teachers, copies of exam certificates, etc.) in English, Slovene, or Italian. The documentation demonstrates the student's educational history and achievements. Applications are accepted throughout the year, and 16 places are available per year group. This completes the initial step of the admissions process.
02 Selecting English level for Year 7, 8 or 9. In the admissions form, when indicating Year 7, 8 or 9, you will have the option to choose the level of English for your child between Native Stream (B2+ level) or English Second Language. This option is only available in Years 7–9; in Year 10 onwards, all students are treated as native speakers. If you are unsure of your child's level, contact the admissions team to arrange a free placement test, which will be both oral and written.
03 Receiving enrolment proposal. Receive the enrolment proposal or the waiting list notification. The school currently accepts 16 students per year group. Notifications are provided by the admissions team.
04 Present enrolment documentation.
