Your Timeline
You write to us with your child's age and your arrival month. We tell you what is open now, what opens next, and hold your place in line.
We agree on a starting date and send the enrollment forms, so paperwork is not waiting for you on arrival.
You visit the school, your child meets the teachers, and missing documents get sorted together.
Days start short and grow longer, photos arrive during the day, and the school counselor supports the whole family through the change.
Documents from Abroad
You do not need Slovak paperwork to apply. Proof of your child's age, such as a passport, is enough to begin, and the medical certificate and remaining forms can follow after you arrive. We will send you every form and walk you through each step, in English.
Arriving with a Baby
If your child is younger than 18 months, start with Baby Club: a free weekly morning of singing, games, and nursery rhymes, with coffee for the adults afterward. It is the easiest way to meet other parents in a new city, and Nursery is next door when your child is ready.

She was eating homemade meals she loved more than the lunches at our schools in the USA. I recommend this school with no hesitation.
Handprints works in ongoing collaboration with embassies in Bratislava, and many diplomatic and international families have chosen the school ahead of their move.
WhatsApp is usually easiest across time zones, and email works at any hour. We reply the same business day.
