Opening of enrolment for the 2026–2027 school year for public and state-contracted private primary and secondary schools in the Principality

The Prince’s Government announces the opening of enrolment for primary, secondary and Post-Baccalauréat programmes in the Principality, for both public schools and state-contracted private establishments.

Enrolment for public schools can be completed easily online via the MonGuichet.mc (section Éducation) portal (Education section), accessible 24/7. This year, the enrolment procedure has been reviewed and simplified, with a significant reduction in the number of supporting documents required, in order to facilitate the process for families.

For those who prefer, paper application forms may still be completed directly at the relevant schools.

Below is the enrolment timetable:

• Primary education enrolment: From Monday 5 January 2026 to Friday 13 March 2026 inclusive

(Nursery school: from Petite Section to Grande Section / Primary school: from CP to CM2)

Any child aged three or turning three during the first term of the school year, who is Monegasque and/or resident in the Principality, is eligible for enrolment in a public or state-contracted private school.

The digitisation and simplification of these enrolment procedures are the result of joint work carried out by the Department of Education, Youth and Sports (DENJS) and the Digital Transition Office (DITN). This collaboration forms part of the Extended Monaco programme, which aims to make everyday life easier for users by providing more accessible, modern and efficient public services.
