Applying takes five minutes online, with no application fee. Within 24 to 48 hours, our Admissions Officer will call you back, then you visit the school before confirming enrolment. Admissions are open throughout the year, subject to places being available, from ages 2 to 18, with no entrance exam.
Here is how to apply to Open Sky International, an independent international school in Boulogne-Billancourt, 5 minutes from Paris, from preschool (from age 2) to high school [link: /en/curriculum-ages-2-18/]. There is no entrance exam: we welcome every child wherever they are, including children who do not yet speak English or French. Admissions are open throughout the year, depending on the places available in each class.
You apply online, in five minutes and with no application fee: the application is a way of introducing your child and your plans to us. Our Admissions Officer then calls you back, you visit the school, and then you confirm enrolment. The assessment takes place after enrolment, to place your child in the right class and on the right language pathway.
Applying takes five minutes: your child's details, current class, languages spoken at home and preferred start date. No documents need to be attached at this stage and there is no application fee. You receive an acknowledgement of receipt immediately.
Hélène Fiack, our Admissions Officer, will call or email you after you apply to confirm the places available in the class you are interested in, introduce the school and arrange a visit. If no place is available, we tell you straight away and offer to put your child on the waiting list. This is when the fees are presented.
After this conversation, you visit the school during lessons with the admissions team or, if you are still abroad, we organise an interview by video call. You can book a visit slot directly online.
If you confirm that you would like to join Open Sky International, we will send you our enrolment pack. Enrolment is confirmed once we have received the fully completed pack and payment of part of the fees.

Your child is now enrolled. We review what your child already knows through an age-appropriate assessment in language (French and English), maths and science. These assessments take place at school and last between half a day and two days, depending on your child's age. The assessment determines your child's language pathway (full programme, EAL or FAL support) and the right class, and is not an entrance exam. Following these assessments, a catch-up programme may also be offered.
Following the assessment results, we confirm which class your child will join. This is also when the enrolment file is finalised with the various documents required for enrolment. The documents required to finalise the application are:
Information about the school uniform is given when the enrolment pack is completed. This is also when the family chooses its options (canteen, after-school care, homework support, after-school clubs and activities).
Every new family is welcomed with a buddy, a house and a welcome meeting at the start of the year.
Nothing is required at the application stage. Three things will, however, make the next steps easier: your child's last two school reports (in their original language, without translation), your preferred start date, and your questions for the visit (language, level, canteen, after-school care). If your child is coming from an international school, the name of the programme followed (Year group, Grade, exam board) helps us place them from the very first conversation.
If you are applying from abroad, let us know your arrival date in Paris: we organise the interview by video call and schedule the assessment for when you arrive.

You leave with an answer on whether a place is available for your child.
You can apply at any time, subject to places being available. International families often apply between March and September, French families at the start of the school year and in January. Children can join until May for the current school year, depending on the class.
No. Any family can apply. The assessment, which takes place after enrolment, is used solely to place your child in the right class. The only limit is the number of places in the class concerned.
There is no application fee to complete and submit the application. A registration fee is, however, due afterwards and is included in the overall fees. Tuition fees are presented by the admissions team during your first conversation.
No documents are required at the application stage. To finalise enrolment, at step 6, you provide:
