How do you enrol a Ukrainian child in school in Romania?
The application is submitted to the chosen school; for primary entry, the official process uses a standard application and in-person document validation.
Short answer
The application is submitted to the chosen school; for primary entry, the official process uses a standard application and in-person document validation.
What to prepare
- · Parent or legal guardian identity document — original and copy, if available
- · Child’s birth certificate — original and copy, if available
- · Previous school records if the child has already attended school
- · For first-grade entry: the standard application and only the additional documents that apply to your case
What to do step by step
- 1
Choose the local catchment school or another school with available places
- 2
Submit the application and complete validation at the school
- 3
For entry above first grade, bring available previous-school records so the school can place the child at the right level
Important
An online application does not by itself complete enrolment — the school must validate the documents.
