Admissions
Admissions
1. Initial Inquiry and School Tour Booking Parents begin the enrollment process by completing the online visit request form on the school's admissions portal to provide contact details and preferred dates. This system allows families to schedule either an in-person campus tour in Casablanca or a virtual visit if they are currently residing abroad. Parents should be aware that this step is designed to help families observe the school's environment and discuss the pedagogical project with the staff. The team uses the submitted form details to organize the subsequent steps of the registration sequence based on the child's age group.
2. Application Submission via the Registration Portal Following the initial inquiry, parents must formally submit an application through the digital portal found on the registration page of the website. During this stage, families upload the required academic records, identification documents, and student history forms. Parents must be aware that initial enrollment requires the payment of a non-refundable first-time registration fee, known as the Droits de Première Inscription (DPI). However, families enrolling multiple children receive a twenty-five percent discount on this specific fee starting from the second child onward.
3. Age-Specific Evaluations or Parental Interviews Applicants are then scheduled for age-specific evaluations or parental interviews to determine readiness and ensure appropriate class placement. For children entering Petite or Moyenne Section, parents attend an interview with the School Director, and they must note that children must be fully toilet-trained to be admitted without diapers. For older grades, primary and secondary applicants undergo confidential entrance tests assessing French language proficiency, logic, and reasoning skills. Parents should know that instructions during these sessions are given exclusively in French, making language fluency a key factor in the selection process.
4. Admissions Decision and Final Enrollment Once evaluation results are processed, the school issues an admission decision based on student performance and class capacity limits. To secure the offered seat, parents must finalize the administrative dossier and complete the required fee payments within the specified timeframe. Parents must remain aware that all school fees are billed on a term-by-term basis, meaning that any academic term commenced is fully due. Consequently, registration and tuition fees are non-refundable once a term begins, even if the student leaves the institution early.
