Step 3: Schedule an assessment

The applicants for an entry in Kindergarten, Elementary, and Middle School are required to take a placement test to determine their potential for success within our school.

The applicants coming from a school teaching the curriculum from France, and certified by the French Ministry of Education, are exempt from the placement test.

The applicants for an entry into Pre-K2, Pre-K3 or Pre-K4 are not required to take a placement test.

Step 4: Meet with us

Parents will be invited to meet with a member of our admissions/leadership team for a personal interview.

Step 5: Decision

Student selection is based on both academic and non-academic considerations.
These include in particular:
-the family support for the project and the values of the school;
-the availability of space and class composition at the grade level requested.
