The path to a place at Morning Glory
Walk in, or begin online — either way, an admissions officer responds to every family. Here is the whole journey: five steps, the documents to prepare, how to visit, and the form that starts it all.
The application process
Five steps, clearly signposted
Admission is to be determined by age and through assessment of the applicant's readiness to benefit from our school's programme.
-
Submit the enquiry form
Tell us about your child using the enquiry form at the foot of this page — or simply walk in. An admissions officer will get back to you shortly.
-
Meet the admissions officer
Face-to-face at the school, or online — families outside Côte d'Ivoire can be interviewed over Zoom or WhatsApp video. Detailed information about tuition and fees is provided at this interview.
-
Sit the entrance assessment
Entrance assessments are compulsory for every applicant, except at the discretion of the admissions team. Parents schedule the date and time for the testing; a non-refundable Assessment Placement Fee is payable on completion.
-
Receive the admission decision
The admissions office reviews the completed application, and the school's management board makes the decision. Parents are notified by email within a working week. If a place cannot be offered, families may ask to remain on the waiting list for the next academic year.
-
Sign, pay and enrol
The administration office issues the school's governing documents and policies. Read, agree and sign them, then pay the New Student Fee and the first tuition instalment. With the signed documents returned, the process is complete.
Demand for places is high — families are advised to apply as early as possible.
