and view the status of their application. It will also enable parents/guardians to upload the
required documents, such as a copy of the student's passport and reports from previous school(s),
where applicable.
Application Fee
For the school to be able to start the review of any application, an application fee of €250 should be
transferred to an AIS bank account set up for this purpose. This payment is non-refundable. Proof of
payment of the fee should be uploaded before parents will be able to continue with the application
process.
Please note that the payment of the application fee does not guarantee a place in the school nor
can any rights be attached to payment of the fee!
Through OpenApply, the school will confirm the receipt of an application. An admission interview
