Parents begin the process by considering whether their family's values align with the school's educational approach, which emphasizes emotional development and concrete actions. This phase involves reviewing the school's mission to ensure the environment will support the child from their early years through to secondary education. Families are encouraged to take their time to evaluate these core aspects and review the informational videos on the site before proceeding.

2. Completing the Interview Form
The formal application process starts with submitting the online interview form located directly on the admissions page. This document collects the necessary preliminary information about the prospective student and their family background. Accurately filling out this form ensures the admissions office has the correct contact details to coordinate subsequent meetings.

3. Reviewing the School Tariffs
Alongside the interview form, parents are instructed to review the school's fee structure by accessing the tariff link provided on the admissions portal. Understanding the financial requirements early in the process helps families align their budget with the school's tuition and associated costs. Reviewing these figures upfront also allows parents to prepare any specific financial questions they may have for the administration.

4. Engaging with the Admissions Team
After submitting the initial documentation, families will be contacted by a member of the admissions team, which includes Cecilia Caneda, Mariana Alonso, and María Eugenia La Rosa. This team serves as the primary point of contact to guide parents through the remaining documentation and scheduling requirements.

This meeting provides an opportunity for the school to assess whether their academic and emotional support systems are an appropriate fit for the child. Parents should come prepared to discuss their child's previous educational experiences and any specific goals they have for their future.

6. Finalizing Enrollment
Once the interview and any necessary academic assessments are completed, the admissions team will communicate the final decision. If offered a place, parents will receive the official registration paperwork and instructions for submitting the required enrollment fees. Completing this final step secures the student's placement for the upcoming academic year at St. Martin in the Fields.
