How to become a student?

For candidates of all classes

Rolling Admissions system:

Once online application forms and required documents have been received (details below), candidates are invited to spend a day on the campus as soon as possible after the start of September to get to know the school and to take entrance tests (in Mathematics, English and Russian/Uzbek). They are interviewed by academic heads and they have the chance to ask questions.

The Admissions Committee meets every week to discuss completed dossiers and corrected entrance tests. One of four decisions is possible:

• Acceptance

• Deferral: This is where there is considerable competition – for certain quotas or where there are still the latest transcripts or reports to be received, for example. In such cases, the Committee reviews all dossiers concerned at a later date before making a final decision. In such cases, parents are informed of the time that they may need to wait and of the date when the dossier will be re-examined.

• Waiting List: When all places for next year have been awarded, candidates with the level to be admitted are placed on a Waiting List and may be admitted as and when places become available, often in spring but sometimes as late as during the summer.

• Denial: Children develop in the course of a year and a candidate who has been refused a place can always re-apply for the following year.

To increase their chances of admission, candidates are urged to apply as early as possible after beginning of March.

Dossiers completed after 15 August are still considered by the Admissions Committee which will decide either to place candidates on the Waiting List or to refuse admission.
