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 (2024–25); 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.

Please note: Admissions meetings and school tours are available by appointment only.
Before starting the application process, please make sure that you have selected the correct grade level placement (placement charts by academic year: 2024–25, 2025–26) for your child.
Parents of students who have been diagnosed or tested for any learning differences (e.g. ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Speech Delay, Autistic Spectrum Disorder etc.) should contact the Admissions office to ensure that we can provide appropriate learning support.
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.
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.
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.
The application process is straightforward and entirely online. If you require any assistance, the Admissions team is here to help. If you're ready to apply, you can start your application here.
Applications are considered complete once we have received (through the application portal) all of the required supporting documents. Exactly what is required varies slightly depending on the age of your child; please see the guide below.

A fully completed application undergoes a detailed review by our Admissions Committee. This committee includes the Admissions Director, 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. You will receive a response via email from ASP within ten-15 working days upon receipt by us of the completed application (further details below).
(In other words, you are applying for the beginning of the next school year, in August).
We begin accepting applications on October 1st for admission the following August.

Due to our small class sizes, some children who are accepted to ASP may be placed on a waiting list (at the request of their parents/guardians).
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.
There are four main acceptance criteria for ASP: academics, behavior, learning needs, and language skills. Depending on your child’s specific profile and needs, they may enter either our learning support program, or our English as an additional language program.
You can read more about our learning support services, or our English as an additional language program, or schedule an appointment with our Admissions team for feedback on your child’s specific case.
