Enrollment contract and initial steps after admission. After acceptance, the registration contract covers one academic year and is not automatically renewed; parents must review the contract with the admissions office, sign it, and pay the applicable fees to enroll the student for the next year.

Appointments for diagnostic testing are arranged by the admission officer once the registration is complete. 4. Admission decision. Admission decisions are made after careful evaluation of the candidates, with results of diagnostic testing and previous school records considered on a case-by-case basis. Additional criteria include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the school's ability to accommodate the candidate's needs. A final admission decision cannot be made without the requested documents. Once accepted and the required fees are paid, a place for the student is reserved. 5. Enrollment and seat reservation.
