Admission Guidelines

In certain instances, enrollment may be granted outside this age requirement depending on the applicant’s past school experience and actual developmental and academic levels.

In the admission process, the following criteria are carefully considered:

• Space availability
• English language ability
• Balance of languages, genders and academic strengths in a class
• Physical and social maturity, especially for younger children
• Suitability of the school’s educational program for the prospective student
• Previous schooling records and reports and whether the child is within our range of academic requirements.

Young children have priority to enter the EYFS classes. However, they are not guaranteed enrollment and will be screened informally like all other applicants, during an informal meeting with one of the department Teacher. Siblings of currently enrolled students have priority over other applicants when all other entrance criteria are met. There are two dates within the School year calendar where entry tests in English and Italian are organised for new applicants.

• 1st date: on Tuesday of the last week of November
• 2nd date on Tuesday of the second week of January

Exceptionally we can consider organising entry test on different dates according to reasons that moved family to finalise the application procedure within a different time schedule to the one we indicate. This decision is made by the Head teacher in accordance with relevant curriculum coordinators. Places are limited and requests, once fulfilled our requirements, may be put on to a waiting list.
