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. Applications for new students are submitted via Eduka on the online registration portal. Tutorials are available on the Eduka parent portal to guide you through the registration process. The Eduka system provides the pathway to enroll new students.
2. Admissions committee reviews and decides on all applications at the beginning of each month, starting in April (February for kindergarten). Final admission depends on the number of available places, particularly those remaining after re-enrollment of current students.
3. Admission criteria include: 1. Students with a sibling already enrolled at the school; 2) Applicants previously refused or placed on the waiting list, coming from a French school or the AEFE network for French education abroad; 3) Students coming from a French school or the AEFE network for French education abroad; 4) Number of children to be enrolled; 5) Date of registration fee payment; 6) Family seniority at LFiZ (prior enrollment of siblings and full payment of previous fees); 7) Requested grade level, with priority given to students applying for higher grade levels. Criterion 1 is a top-priority factor, and the combination of criteria 3 and 4 forms a third-level priority.
4. If these criteria are insufficient to rank applicants, criteria 6 and 7 will be applied. If no criteria can differentiate between applications, a lottery will be conducted.
