Admissions	Admissions ASP accepts applications for students aged 3 to 18 and uses a rolling admissions model for the current academic year (space permitting), with applications for the following academic year opening in October. Applications are completed online through the admissions portal; required documents include the student's school reports from the previous two years and the current year, a student questionnaire, confidential teacher and counselor forms, a parent questionnaire, and a copy of the passport; the application fee is €1,450 and is non-refundable if an offer is made, but refundable if no space is offered. An English-language assessment may be required for Grade 6–12 applicants to determine the appropriate level of English-language support, and non-native speakers are assessed through the English as an Additional Language (EAL) pathway. The Admissions Committee reviews complete files and communicates decisions within 10–15 working days after receipt of the complete file; October marks the start of accepting applications for the following year, and rolling admissions may apply for the current year if space permits. The school provides relocation support for families relocating to Paris, including grade-level placement and EAL/learning-support considerations.	Admissions 1. Contact the admissions team to begin your Marymount journey. They guide you through every step of the application process. You can take a virtual or in-person tour of the school as part of the admissions process. Tours can be booked by clicking the virtual consultation link. 2. Apply online through OpenApply. The admissions team will schedule a private consultation and tour. You can track the progress of your application there. You will receive updates in OpenApply as the review progresses. 3. Application deadline: We recommend applying in January and February for September entry as spaces are limited. However, we accept applications year-round and review them on an individual basis. Early submissions are strongly encouraged. 4. Materials needed: Online application form; the student's school records from their current or most recent year (in English); a child safeguarding form; passport-size photos and a photo ID from each parent. A list of health issues translated into English is required. Middle school students must complete an interview with the Head of School and may be asked to provide math and writing samples. Immunization records are required by the nurse and health information should be provided via the Medical Health Form. 5. Tours: Yes, in-person and virtual tours are offered with an admissions representative. Tours are recommended for all prospective families. Language: No language placement test is required; school records suffice. English can be taught as an additional language and the inclusion team is available to support any students who need to improve their English. 6. Notification of admission decision: After applying, you will have an OpenApply account to check the status of your application. When a decision is made, it will appear in OpenApply and you will automatically receive an email. You can expect timely updates as the review progresses.
