Admissions assessment (PS, MS & GS)

A test may be required for Petite Section (PS), Moyenne Section (MS) and Grande Section (GS) students who have not attended a French state school or a school in the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) network. We will use an age-appropriate assessment to test their ability to adapt to the French curriculum.
