Admissions procedure

The application process is relatively straightforward, but if at any time you have any questions, please email our Admissions officers at admissions@asparis.fr. Have a look below for detailed information about each step—from inquiry to enrollment.

Please note: we accept applications on a rolling basis for the current academic year; however, please check with our Admissions officers on availability before beginning the application.

We begin accepting applications for the following academic year in October, and provide an answer as to placement as soon as the application has been reviewed.

Step 1: Get in touch with Admissions

Is ASP the right choice your family? Our knowledgeable Admissions team is ready to give you an individualized introduction to the ASP community. Send us a message at admissions@asparis.fr to start the conversation. Or schedule an on-campus tour with our Admissions team, so you can see and live the ASP experience for yourself.

Please note: Admissions meetings and school tours are available by appointment only.

Step 2: Please note...

Which grade should my child apply for?

Before starting the application process, please make sure that you have selected the correct grade level placement (placement charts by academic year: 2025–26, 2026–27) for your child.

Important Note regarding Grade placement:

  • Students arriving from a country with a school year that follows a different calendar year than ASP (e.g. South Korea, Japan, etc) must enroll in the same grade that they have just completed in their prior country. For example, a student who completed grade 5 in South Korea in February would be placed in Grade 5 for the remainder of the academic year at ASP.
  • All students arriving mid-year at ASP will continue their academic program at the same grade level for the remainder of the ASP academic year.
Learning support services

Our learning support program is designed for students who have learning differences, whether mild or moderate. Our highly trained learning specialists offer a range of services from small-group support, in-class interventions, and co-teaching, to extension opportunities based on student needs.

Please be prepared to provide all supporting documentation, including diagnostic/psycho-educational reports.

Our learning support specialists will review the submitted documents to ensure that we can provide the appropriate level of support, and the Admissions office will inform you of their decision.

Please note that it is not in a child's best interest to withhold information that would allow us to determine whether we can support their learning and wellbeing. If, after admission, we discover that such information existed but that it was not provided, we must reserve the right to withdraw our offer of admission or to not offer re-enrollment.

English as an additional language (EAL)

Through our EAL program, non-native English speakers in Grades 1–8 can acquire the level of English needed to communicate effectively and successfully in both social and academic situations. The EAL program is also committed to valuing home culture and mother language development as an essential component of successful English language learning.

New students whose mother language is something other than English are assessed by the EAL team to determine their English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The results of these assessments determine whether students need to join the EAL program, and guides their placement within the program according to their reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities.

Health records and immunizations

ASP requires all students to be vaccinated against Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Poliomyelitis, and to submit our medical questionnaire that has been completed by a physician. Proof of vaccination is confirmed by the physician on the questionnaire. We do not require this document to be completed as part of the application, but should you accept an offer from ASP, you will be required to submit the completed form before your child can start classes.

Step 3: Apply

Step 4: Pay the application fee

Please note that if for any reason we are unable to accept an applicant, we will refund your application fee in full.

After you have completed your application, please pay the application fee of €1,450; we will begin the review process after this fee has been received.

Step 5: Application review process

Response time

A fully completed application undergoes a detailed review by our Admissions Committee. This committee includes the Admissions Manager, Divisional Director (Lower/Middle/Upper), Counselor and other members of the educational team. Each student’s application is given careful consideration. This may involve some additional follow-up in certain cases, when we feel this is necessary to enable us to make a decision.

An application is complete only when all the required documents have been submitted and the application fee has been paid. We aim to give youa response via email within 10–15 working days upon receipt of the completed application.

Waitpool

Every effort will be made to accept students applying to ASP. In a managed admissions process, there will inevitably come a time when a grade level is filled to capacity. When that happens, a waiting pool will be developed only as a last resort. When a child is placed in a waiting pool, parents will be advised as to when the possibility of a place will become available or if an additional class will be formed.

A final note

We try to accommodate every applicant, however, acceptance is not automatic, and there are cases where we cannot meet the specific needs of a student.

Please note that if for any reason we are unable to accept an applicant, we will refund your application fee in full.

You can schedule an appointment with our Admissions team for any question and we look forward to getting to know your family soon.
