Admissions

This process will take place between August and September 2025 (family interviews and evaluation of applicants or until the available places for new families are filled).

Children starting Playgroup in 2026 must be 3 years old by March 31, 2026.

For 2026 the school offers 26 places, plus 10 additional spots for a waiting list.

Interviews and school visits can only be requested through the REQUEST INTERVIEW link.

The REQUEST INTERVIEW link will be enabled on July 30, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. and will receive requests until number 36 is reached.

Once we have received 36 interview requests, we will contact families by phone to arrange the informational interview, which must be attended by parents only.

Personalized interview with the 36 families: between August and September

The interview will be scheduled by phone or email with parents or legal guardians. This interview will be conducted in person.

SEK Chile is guided by principles that seek to promote the comprehensive development of students and, to that end, requires the commitment of all members of the community, especially mothers, fathers, and/or legal guardians. Therefore, in the interview — intended for new families — the coherence between the family’s expectations and the mission of the School, the educational project (click here to learn about the educational project), and the understanding and adherence to its values will be observed. This instance is also useful to clarify any doubts and tour the facilities.

Student evaluation

Evaluations will be carried out in small groups between August and October or until the open places are filled.

The entire application process is carried out in person and individually. The evaluation consists of observing psycho-cognitive aspects in areas related to receptive and expressive language, fine and gross motor skills, socio-emotional aspects, levels of autonomy according to developmental stage, etc.

On the day of the evaluation, families must submit all the required documentation and complete the corresponding application forms. The evaluation lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Results notification

The result of the student’s admission process will be communicated to parents or legal guardians preferably by phone or email within 5 business days after the applicant’s evaluation has been completed.

Once all Playgroup applicants have been evaluated, the list of admitted students will be published on the last business day of October on an information board or similar at the School’s reception.

Once the results have been communicated to each family, the School will reserve the place for 48 hours from the time the admission result was communicated. After 48 hours, if the annual enrollment fee and Membership fee have not been paid, the School will make the place available again.
