How to apply

Our school welcomes all students who decide to continue further studies within the American system, and are prepared to work with us purposefully on their academic studies and their social development.

Students may join our school in either the fall or spring semester, although full-year applicants will have priority in the admission process. Twelfth grade students, in order to fulfill our graduation requirements, must attend at least one full year during 12th grade, or spend the last two semesters at our school.

Students seeking admission must complete the Application for Admission, which can be downloaded through the links on our web page. Students must also provide official certified school records (transcripts) from the last three academic years, prior to entering our school. An official certified translation into English of the school records is required (when applicable). There is a one-time non-refundable application fee of €175, or €275 after May 31st. Early application is strongly encouraged, especially if the applicant also requires a student visa.

Once the Application for Admission is completed, applicants may email or send by registered post the application to the Admissions Office. No admission decision will be made until all of the application requirements are submitted and the application fee has been paid.
