HOW TO ENROLL

 Enrollment process for the school year ​2021-2022

  • Pre-enrollment defines placement order
  • ​Returning families get priority placement if pre-enrolled by May 15th​
Once you have reviewed our classes options for next year, the enrollment is a 2 step process:
STEP 1
PRE-ENROLLMENT starting April 26

​All students, both new and continuing, need to pre-enroll online. The pre-enrollment determines the placement order (first come, first serve). Currently enrolled families have a priority placement until May 15th.
​
A deposit of $400 must be submitted with each application (one per child). This deposit will be directly applied to tuition. We encourage early pre-enrollment with a 100$ discount if pre-enrolled by May 31st, reflected directly in the deposit amount ($300 until May 31st, $400 thereafter)

This deposit is only refundable if WE can't accept your child in our program (class cancelled, your child doesn't meet the requirements...).

Important: Pre-enrollment is complete only when you have paid the deposit and received a confirmation email.

PRE-ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT
​For all new FLAM (French-speaking) students, we require a pre-assessment.  Our goal is to evaluate the students’ French proficiency and place them in the best group.

If our educational team believes that our program is not the right fit and can not recommend an adequate placement, we will inform you and discuss options.
If no adequate solution is found for the student, the enrollment process is terminated, and you will receive a refund of the  deposit (minus a $50 administrative assessment fee)

For returning students, placement is based on teachers' recommendations and progress reports.
STEP 2
FINAL ENROLLMENT starting in June

Starting May 15th, we will start confirming the placement of your child by email and you will be asked to pay the remaining amount of the tuition.  You will have 2 weeks (10 business days) to confirm the registration of your student for the placement mentioned above. After these 2 weeks (10 business days) you may still be able to confirm the registration, but we cannot guarantee the placement anymore as the spot may be offered to another student.

Enrollment is complete once tuition is paid in full. You may access interest-free instalments payment options through our Paypal Pay Later button (subject to credit approval by Paypal)

Important to know:
  • We reserve the right to not open classes if we have less than 5 students enrolled.
  • Once our classes are full, we will put the remaining pre-enrolled students on a waiting list until after the first class as spots can become available or we may be able to open an extra class if there are enough students.
  • If EFGS must cancel your child's class (due to low enrollment or teacher availability) you will receive a full refund.
  • We will be communicating by August 15th if we can satisfy the demand of in-person vs online depending on the current circumstances and regulations that may be in place in WA state. At that time if your original choice In-person Vs Online cannot be satisfied, you will have the opportunity to cancel your registration (and we will then refund the tuition minus the deposit) or to choose our Online classes.
