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. Admissions open the year before entry and are conducted on a rolling basis throughout the year. After the completed application form is received, the family is contacted to schedule an interview with a member of the Leadership Team. Families are invited to attend a school presentation to learn about the school's mission, pedagogical approaches, and philosophy.
2. Complete the online application. For each applicant upload copies of the student s picture, birth certificate, passport, school reports for the last two years and current year when available (or EYFS progress checks for applicants who have them), a letter of recommendation about the family, and co-signed authorisation if parents are divorced or separated. A non-refundable application fee of
3275 is payable via Stripe or bank transfer. New users must set up a user account to use the Admissions Portal to register for events or submit an application form.
3. Attend appointments. Families living in the UK are required to attend a school presentation followed by a Q&A, after which an appointment is arranged for the parents and child with a Head of School or senior staff member. Families enrolled at Ecole Jeannine Manuel Paris or Lille do not need an admissions appointment. Families living abroad can join virtual school presentations and arrange appointments via Zoom.
4. Review decisions and entry requirements. Admissions are on a rolling basis. The Admissions Commission decision will be communicated within two weeks of the appointment. Applicant age eligibility: Nursery applicants must turn three during the first term of the academic year; questions about year groups and age of entry are handled by the Admissions Office. Linguistic entry requirements: The school welcomes non-French-speaking students at all levels and beginners in English up to Year 7.
Bursaries are available. At present, 12% of pupils benefit from financial aid, covering an average of two thirds of their school fees. To apply for a bursary, a separate Bursary Application is submitted at the same time as the Admissions Application so that both can be reviewed together. More information on fees and bursaries is available on the Fees & Bursaries page.
