2. Processing of the application: You can follow the progress of your application in your Skolengo space. If your file is complete and your child has followed schooling in the French system (in France or within the AEFE network), your application will be processed upon receipt. For elementary/secondary enrollment, and if your child comes from another educational system, a date for an entrance test will be proposed to evaluate the child's ability to join our establishment. If the number of applications exceeds the available places, you will be offered to place your child on a waiting list.

3. Validation of enrollment: If you have received an offer of a place, you have 10 days to pay the first registration fee, the advance and the deposit to confirm your acceptance. If you do not confirm, the enrollment will be cancelled and the place offered to another student. Confirming your acceptance commits you to respect the deregistration procedure if you wish to withdraw.

French scholarships — French citizens: Students with French citizenship may apply for a schooling subsidy from the French state.
