Opening of school enrolment for the 2026–2027
The Prince’s Government announces the opening of enrolment for primary, secondary and Post-Baccalauréat programmes in the Principality, for both public schools and state-contracted private establishments.
The enrolment period for primary, secondary schools for both public schools and state-contracted private establishments and post-secondary programmes in the Principality is now open.
Enrolment for public schools can be completed easily online via the MonGuichet.mc (Education section) portal, accessible 24/7.
This year, the enrolment procedure has been reviewed and simplified, with a significant reduction in the number of supporting documents required, in order to facilitate the process for families.
For those who prefer, paper application forms may still be completed directly at the relevant schools.
