Monaco has opened enrolment for the 2026-27 academic year across public and state-contracted private schools, with a newly simplified online registration process requiring significantly fewer documents than previous years.

Families can register children through the MonGuichet.mc portal (Education section), accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Paper forms remain available at individual schools for those who prefer traditional registration.

Primary school registration runs from 5th January through 13th March, covering preschool and elementary levels. Secondary school registration periods vary by institution, with most opening 12th January. Post-baccalaureate applications run from 19th January through 1st April, with all programmes now consolidated into a single process.

Children aged three or older who are Monegasque and/or resident in the Principality are eligible for primary enrolment. Students living outside Monaco or seeking enrolment at a school outside their geographical zone must request derogation from the Direction of Education, Youth and Sports (DENJS) between 1st January and 1st May.

The streamlined process results from collaboration between DENJS and the Interministerial Delegation for Digital Transition as part of the Extended Monaco programme, which aims to make public services more accessible and efficient.

Full registration details, specific dates for each institution, and information on sport-study programmes are available at education.gouv.mc.
