Thank you for your interest in applying to the Nazarene Evangelical School-Sin El Fil. We appreciate choosing NES as a partner in the education journey of your child.
NES accepts students without regard to race, creed, national origin, gender, or religious beliefs. Students are selected based on academic potential, school achievement, and readiness for the school’s rigorous and robust curriculum.
Interested Parents or guardians are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, starting March 2022.
The following Admission Procedures are followed:
- Inquiry meeting
If a family is considering an application at NES, they are welcomed to arrange an initial inquiry meeting by contacting the school office or visiting the school personally. This will be an opportunity to meet with the Head of School or the Admission responsible and to gain an understanding of school, the academic curriculum and school environment. We enquire about academic, social and behavioral background of the student.
