The registration period for nursery school in public and private schools for the 2023-2024 school year is now closed.
To enrol your child for the current school year (2023-2024), please follow the procedure below: How to enrol your child in school outside the normal enrolment periods
Nursery schools (écoles maternelles) accept children who are too young for compulsory education. Children of three years of age and over, or children who have reached this age during the first quarter of the school year, and children aged four to five, can attend nursery school.
.
Understanding the process
Nursery school is not compulsory.
All Monegasque children, or children with at least one Monegasque parent, can be enrolled on request in a state nursery school or private nursery schools under contract. Non-Monegasque children whose parents live in the Principality will be admitted if places are available.
You can choose between:
- State education
- Private education under contract
- Private education that is not under contract (International School of Monaco - British School of Monaco)
In the state sector, the school your child will attend depends on the geographical area in which you live. If you wish your child to attend a school in a different area, you should send a letter to the Department of Education, Youth and Sport before 1st May, requesting an area exemption.
While awaiting a reply, you should enrol your child in the school in your area.
