How to enroll a child in school Recording of children in schools begins, as a rule, in the spring (in March) and ends before the very beginning of the school year - in August.





The deadlines for receiving applications and filing documents in each school are set individually - at the discretion of the management, but must be prescribed in the charter of the school.


Until recently, babies entering the firstclass, were to pass the entrance examinations. Now it is strictly forbidden to conduct any tests, competitions or exams, so in case of violation of this prohibition, you must apply to the education department.


The only exceptions are language schools. In all other cases, before enrolling in school, with a future first-grader they can only talk in the presence of their parents. In some schools, despite the directive, persistently continue to arrange another contest - for the amount of a "voluntary" sponsorship fee, transferred by parents to the bank account of the school.


In such cases, too, one should complain inDepartment of Education or the "hot line". Many parents are interested in how to enroll a child in school if they do not have a residence permit? The presence of a residence permit from parents is not a prerequisite for admission of children to the ranks of first-graders, but temporary registration must be made without fail.


When writing to any school, priority, as a rule,is given to residents of nearby houses, graduates of a pre-school institution with whom an agreement has been signed, and children whose brother or sister are already students of this school. In a regular school, children are admitted after 6,5 years, and only a child who is 7-8 years old can be enrolled in a school with in-depth study of subjects.


Another dilemma that often occurs in parentsfuture first-graders, is associated with the choice between private and public schools. It is not a fact that the non-state will be better, because among all schools there are both "good" and "bad."


The main difference, of course, in payment. But in a private school all parents sign a contract for the training of their child. And if its conditions are violated, then it is possible to return the money paid in court and additionally receive a certain amount of compensation for moral damage.


If you decide to enroll your child in a private school,then you need to make sure that she has the right to conduct educational activities, as well as to make sure that this school has been accredited and has the right to issue a state-recognized document.
