REGISTRATION FORM

Admission process

To enter for the first time or re-enter the school, the applicant must first meet the minimum age requirements established by the School's Board of Directors and take into account that from the first grade of elementary school onwards, he/she must come from a bilingual school if he/she wishes to begin the admission process; then fill out the Registration Form that can be found on the school's website (www.gnsm.edu.co), in the Admissions tab.

With the information registered in the Registration Form, the person in charge will contact the applicant's guardian to schedule the following interviews and the evaluation process:

From Explorers level, Garden of Dreams Stimulation Center to Preschool grades, the process is as follows:

  • The process begins with the meeting "Getting to know GNS" which is led by the rector and the interdisciplinary team where parents are socialized to the methodology of the institution.
  • Psychological interview with parents.
  • Psychological interview to the applicant (Kinder - Transition).
  • Observation (up to Purple/3 years old) or academic evaluation if Green/3 years old or older.

Payment options

St. George's Noble School offers families the possibility of choosing between two options for the payment of school fees.

Option 1: The student will pay their annual tuition and monthly boarding fees at the regular rate each year for the duration of their schooling.

Option 2: The student will pay his annual tuition and monthly boarding fees at a lower rate than the regular rate each year for the duration of his schooling.

How can you benefit from Option 2 school values?

St. George's Noble School has created the pension option with a lifetime discount. To access this option, a one-time payment of the value stipulated in the table of fees must be made and is paid with the student's first registration, which gives access to discounts on the value of the pension during the student's entire schooling while he/she is linked to our Institution. These values vary according to the annual increases that are assessed under the supervision and authorization of the local and national government.

If you wish to obtain more information about the payment options and values stipulated for this year, we invite you to contact us by phone at 3017345503 or by e-mail at secretariacademica@gnsm.edu.co.
