REGISTRATION & DEPARTURE

The admissions are confirmed by the Principal of the school and the official response is conveyed to the parents by the Admissions Department, after each admission committee meeting.

For the September intake: 

• Preliminary committee meeting on the 28th of March,
• Preliminary committee on the 17th of May,
• Admissions committee on the 311st of May,
• Complementary committee on the 23rd of August

Intake throughout the school year:

• For the January intake, admissions committee on the 7th of November,
• For the March intake, admissions committee on the 29th of January

For other entry dates, the applications are considered on a case by case basis by the Principal of the school.

!! IMPORTANT !! Due to the increasing number of applications received, the LFS had to organize waiting lists and rank the applications according to different criteria: - Nationality: the priority is given to French pupils, - The school previously attended: the priority is given to students coming from a school following the French National Education Ministry curriculum, - Applications submitted by a company sponsor of the LFS, - Child of a LFS staff, - Child of a French civil servant (fonctionnaire) on duty in Singapore, - A child whose siblings are already studying at LFS or are applying at the same time, - Date of application.

Useful details about the admission process and agenda:

The 28th March preliminary committee: the committee confirms applications depending on the number of seats available on the 28th of March. Please note that at that time of the school year, only very few departures are confirmed. The applications which cannot be considered end of March will automatically be transferred to the 17th May preliminary committee. 

The 17th May committee: the applications received after the March committee are inserted in the list and applications can be confirmed depending on the number of seats available on the 17th of May. An annual survey allowing us to know how many students are withdrawing from the school would have been done but the number of seats is still uncertain. The applications that cannot be confirmed are automatically transferred to the 31st of May committee.

 The 31st of May committee: the applications received since May are added to the list. The management knows precisely the number of students leaving the school and of cancelations of applicants accepted by the two preliminary committees. Depending on the demand and on the size of the premises, the Managing Board can decide on the creation of supplementary classes.
The admissions that cannot be confirmed are ranked on a waiting list.

Complementary commission held on the 23rd of August: the applications received during the summer are inserted in our lists, based on the date of application. The committee will offer any seat becoming available during the summer.
From 1st of September onward, any seat becoming available is offered to the wait-listed applicants.

Step 1: for a pre-registration

Step 2:  Once the committee has met, its decision is conveyed to families by e-mail.

Step 3:  Finalizing the registration with the school, once the application has been confirmed

The LFS holds/maintains 2 insurance policies and asks the family to be covered for:

1. 1- PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE:
   This policy covers any damage caused to a third party, including students, in the event of physical  injury and/or material where the responsibility of the LFS is engaged.  It does not, in any manner, substitute the personal liability policy of the parents, which we highly encourage the Head of the family to subscribe to, in instances where the responsibility of the LFS would not be engaged (for example, a collision between two students during a scuffle would not be covered unless the LFS is clearly identified in the incident). It is generally a part of the multi-risk homeowner’s policy.
   
2. 
   
   2- PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE:  
   This insurance covers, among others, some medical expenses following an accident suffered by the child at school or elsewhere. In any event, the maximum coverage of medical fees corresponds to 10,000 SGD. This insurance is offered by the school and is not an obligation.  It complements the medical insurance taken by the family.

The LFS requests that parents ensure that they are covered, for their own personal responsibility for the following:

1 – PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE:
This policy covers all damage caused by the child to a third-party or to property.  This would apply both to incidents at the school and in daily life.

2 – PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE:
This insurance covers medical expenses, not necessarily following an accident, suffered by the child at school or elsewhere. This is sometimes included in the parents' work insurance policy.

When a student is due to leave the school, the parents must inform the administration department, at least 1 month before departure, by filling in the departure form ().

Your child’s official documents will be released by the General Administration office (E312) on the last day of school (as indicated on the departure form), providing the library form () is duly signed and that there is no outstanding balance towards the LFS.
