The Admissions process

In order to ensure a better organization, Open Days are reserved to families who have requested participation by registering on the Admissions Portal. The day before the meeting, parents will receive a reminder.

Eventually, in-person tours will be organized. During Open Day, we will show videos that will allow you to virtually visit the indoor
and outdoor spaces dedicated to teaching, science and technology laboratories, the gyms, the cafeteria , the infirmary, the administrative and secretarial offices.

After Open Day you will receive an email with the tuition plan indicating the one-time contribution fee expected upon initial enrollment to Collegio San Carlo.

Test sessions are scheduled in-person at Collegio San Carlo.

The candidate takes the test with the assistance of the Admission Office and of the teachers. A short break is planned.
Candidates will be asked to take tests in three areas: logic and mathematics, Italian, English. The duration of this test is two hours approximately. If the candidate is applying to be placed in pre-existing classes (from second to fourth year), the duration of the test extends since an assessment of other curriculum-specific subjects is required.

After attending the open day, we request the uploading of the documentation listed in the “Entry test” paragraph above. After the uploaded documents are validated, you will receive an automatic email listing the slots available to be booked for the entry test.

As several professionals are involved, the cost is 230.00 euro for the first sessions. For second sessions 60.00 euros per one subject and 115.00 euros per two subjects
