If your child turns 7 years old on or before 1 September 2025, they are eligible to be enrolled in school. Enrolment is free of charge and does not require an entrance examination.
The method of enrolment depends on your place of residence:
- If you reside in Chișinău municipality or one of its suburban localities, enrolment is carried out online via the platform: https://escoala.chisinau.md
- If you live in other areas of Moldova, enrolment is carried out in person, by submitting the necessary documents directly to the school.
‼️ Important ‼️
- If you have newly arrived in Moldova, school enrollment is possible on a rolling basis, outside of the standard enrollment time frame, subject to availability of places in schools.
- If you are already living in Moldova, you are kindly requested to respect the official enrolment deadlines.
Phase I: 3 March – 30 April 2025
For children living within the school’s catchment area – the child’s registered home address must match the area officially assigned to that school.
Phase II: 19 – 30 May 2025
For children who were not enrolled during Phase I or who have recently arrived in the Republic of Moldova.
Exceptions:
Children who were not enrolled during either of the above phases may be registered between 20 and 30 August 2025, based on an individual request, and subject to the availability of places.
Required documents:
- The child’s birth certificate
- The identity document of the parent or legal representative
- The temporary residence certificate
- The child’s medical certificate – either a health/vaccination record from Ukraine or, if not available, a medical certificate issued by a licensed health care provider in the Republic of Moldova.
If you do not currently hold all required documents, your child may still be enrolled. Missing documents may be submitted at a later date.
