International School of Moscow – The English School of Science and IT - Admission

Admission Process

We welcome new students to most year groups. Applications can be made at any stage, subject to space availability, with admission based upon satisfactory performance in an entrance assessment.

Applications are currently open for entry in 2026/27. Please contact our Admissions Team on +7-963-976-2228 / info@english-school.org.uk for details.

Entrance assessments usually take place through the school year, depending on entry point. An enrolment fee of 4,000 euros is payable to secure a place offered at Le Fort, we cannot guarantee a place without this payment.

Yearly Years

We welcome students of 3+ to 4 years of age with a special focus on self-care skills and readiness for learning in a school setting.

Pre-school places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, the priority is given to siblings where possible, although we cannot guarantee offers of a sibling place. We strive to achieve a gender balance.

Pre-school students move up to Year 1 school, although entry is competitive and a place in Primary school is not guaranteed.

Primary Year 1 (age 5+) and Year 2 (age 6+)

Primary Years 1 and 2 are main intake years. We use “taster” days for group and individual assessments to determine admission. Every effort is made to ensure that children feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. Assessments can take place through the school year provided that we have available places.

Key Stages 2, 3 and 4

Apart from Year 2, we offer a small number of places in KS 2, 3 and 4 with entrance assessments for Y3-Y9 involving tests covering SAT English, modules in mathematics and science.

Those applying to Y10, 11 and 12 will do some of the past-paper tests or SAT tests on core subjects. Children also spend time working on group tasks in the class and are interviewed.

Six Form: A Levels

Le Fort welcomes applications for AS level course (Y12). Entrance Assessments take place in February - April before the academic year of entry. Please contact the Admissions Office for further information.

For curricular reasons, we do not admit new students to Year 13 or individual candidates to sit A Level exams.

While it is usual for candidates to feel nervous when they arrive, our aim is to ensure a fun experience, with most enjoying the day – especially the group activities.

The fee for entrance assessments and a taster day is Rub.10,000.00; this sum is subtracted from the tuition fee if the pupil is enrolled in school.

Class placement

Le Fort School of Science provides an all-through education from age 4 to 18, with most children joining us in Early Years Foundation, Year 1 and 2, Primary Y6, GCSE and A Levels courses.

Le Fort is a selective school – admission is based on performance in an entrance assessment. Children are placed in year groups based on their date of birth, not when they feel “ready.”

Children in England start Reception at age 4 and move through to Year 13 at age 17 to 18. Here is every year group, the age range, and the key stage it falls under:
