First, children who are registered in districts attached to the school are enrolled, and then, if there are free places, children registered in districts not attached to the school. Children who live in the same family and have a common place of residence also have an advantage in enrolling in the school where their brothers and / or sisters study.

If you have not decided on the choice of school, find it using the service of the Department of Education and Science of the city of Moscow.

5. What should I do if my child needs special learning conditions?

This year, school enrollment benefits for future first graders have been canceled (see our help), so in theory you can choose any educational institution - both by location, and by bias or teaching method (more on this in the next issues). But how not to make a mistake with the choice? What to focus on - the degree of shabbyness of the front door or the Chinese language from the first class?

Don't chase cool

“Don’t look at the “coolness” of the school, I got burned on this at one time,” warns Galina Koltsova, the mother of second-grader Timofey. - I chose the most “fancy” for my son - with language and computer courses instead of an extension - and put Timofey in a preparatory class. He studied well, and although the future teachers constantly whipped up nervousness on various occasions, I was pleased. Still the best school in the area! Timosha easily passed the tests and went to first grade at the age of 6. But the atmosphere in the classroom did not change - the teachers began to find fault even more, and the son began to complain of a constant headache. The class teacher called and hysteria on the phone: we spoiled her academic performance. Timothy actually stopped sleeping at night. We turned to a psychologist, and he categorically demanded to pick up the child and send it to first grade next year! I felt sorry for the tortured son. This time I chose a simpler school, but with sports sections to improve my health. So ask before entering what the guys do after school. Any circles in the first year of study are indispensable for adaptation. Now Timofey goes to the second grade, studies brilliantly and swims well.

The closer, the healthier

“Many parents dream of sending their future first grader to the very best school in the center,” says Yulia Gritsenko, a clinical psychologist. - But I would advise you to choose an educational institution closer to home. Then the child will not have to get up at 6 in the morning to leave the house in an hour and a half. After all, if in September this is not a problem, then in winter, when it dawns late in the morning, the rise “in the middle of the night” can turn into a daily disaster. The task of primary school is to accustom the kid to the educational process, so let him calmly get used to the "near-home" school, and then send him "to hell", he will already be mentally tempered.

Break through at any cost!

“Last year, I arranged for my daughter to go to school,” recalls Alena Bestuzheva, the mother of a first grader. - And at first I was taken aback. There were no places in any educational institution in my area! I didn't fold my arms. In three schools, she overcame the rebuff of the guards, made her way to the teachers who were recruiting the first classes. Two of the three schools were willing to accept my daughter. From conversations with friends, I learned that the “no places” technique is widely used: somewhere in this way they extort bribes, somewhere they artificially increase the prestige of the school. So don’t give up and your child will be enrolled!”

Choose a teacher

“The main thing is not the walls with gilding, but that the child likes the teacher,” advises Marina Lileeva, deputy director of the Intellectual school for gifted children. - After all, it depends on this person whether the baby will fully devote himself to learning. If the school refuses to introduce teachers who are gaining the first grades, contact the director. And if the "defense" is impenetrable, it is better to look for another educational institution, because sympathy between the future student and his teacher is necessary. And do not rush to start studying, it is better to send the child to school at 7.5 years old than at 6.5. No matter how talented your baby is, give him to the first class at the right time so that he does not get tired and is not capricious. Otherwise, with a much higher intellectual potential, he will lag behind his peers - if not in studies, then in emotional development, which is fraught with serious problems in adolescence.

Our reference

To enroll a child on April 1 in the selected school, parents will have to be on duty near it at night. The Moscow prosecutor's office is sure that the privileges prescribed in the Moscow legislation for certain categories of first-graders infringe on the rights of other kids. “Therefore, now no benefits, such as: the study of older children in this educational institution or living nearby, are not taken into account,” Alexander Gavrilov, spokesman for the Moscow Department of Education, confirmed to AiF. - Whoever comes first will be credited. Therefore, I recommend that you find out everything about the recording procedure now.”

Even in early childhood, it is from school that a child begins to get acquainted with science, his own interests in life, his first friends and society as a whole. The child is constantly learning new things, his social roles and relationships are developing, the psyche is being formed. The school plays a much greater role in a person's life, acting not only as an educational institution where they conduct lessons and take exams. Therefore, it is very important to make the right choice of school for your child at the very beginning, and if necessary, be sure to change.

Every year more and more new schools open in Russia. Some of them are located in places remote from future students. Quite often, parents choose educational institutions not according to their place of residence, but according to various characteristics - ratings, teachers, school programs, conditions for the children's stay in the institution. It's quite normal. But often parents are faced with refusals to accept a child in a school that is not registered. Such situations are on the rise. They bring a lot of trouble to both the parents of the future student and the directors. Today we will figure out how to get into a school without registration. Is it even possible to bring the idea to life? And if there is such a right, how best to implement it? Every parent should be aware of what he is allowed to do regarding the education of minors.

About secondary education

Is it possible to get into a school without registration? To answer this question, you will have to pay attention to the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

Let's start with the fact that secondary education in Russia is compulsory. Every citizen of the Russian Federation must graduate from school. And they have no right to refuse admission to an educational institution according to the law "On Education".

It follows that parents can apply to any school with a corresponding request to accept their child in the first grade (and not only). But in Russia, when submitting a request not for registration, refusals often follow. How legitimate is this?

Constitution of the Russian Federation

Everything is not as simple as it seems. The Constitution of the Russian Federation also has some indications regarding the acquisition of secondary education.

This set of laws prescribes free and affordable education in the country. Accordingly, parents have the right to apply for admission of the child to educational institutions. But how to get into a school without registration?

Legality of refusals

To begin with, we will find out whether they can refuse to enroll in educational institutions by law. Based on the foregoing, the conclusion follows that the director is obliged to accept everyone who wants to go to school. And he can't refuse. After all, this is a violation of constitutional rights.

Of course, there are not enough places for everyone. And so refusals are sometimes logical. If there are no places, then they will not be able to accept the child in school according to the law.

Despite this, under certain circumstances, children have the right not to be enrolled in educational institutions if the parents applied to an institution not at the place of registration. When is this possible? And on what grounds?

Law changes

Since 2012, there have been certain amendments to the Law "On Education". They are the reason for refusals to enroll in educational institutions. And everything will happen according to the law.

The thing is that the current legislation assigns to children applying to a school by registration the priority right to enroll. This means that first places for schoolchildren are distributed according to their place of residence. And if after that they have not ended, then the director is obliged to accept people who are not registered.

About priority

How to get to school without registration? If you persevere, then the solution of the task will not cause any problems.

As we have already found out, citizens can apply to any educational institution with a request to enroll a child in a particular class. They can refuse this service, but only under certain circumstances.

First, places are distributed among children living at addresses associated with the educational institution. In order of priority, according to the principle "who applied first". After that, the rest of the places are distributed among the children who are not registered. The principle is the same: whoever applied earlier will get a place in the school. Every parent should remember this. An application for enrolling a child in an educational institution should be submitted as early as possible.

Private schools

And can they refuse by law to accept children in private educational institutions? If the school is not municipal, then registration during the consideration of requests for enrollment of students does not play any role. And you can not refuse this service.

By law, this is possible only when there are no places left for a particular child in the school. But consideration of applications taking into account registration under such circumstances is a violation of the current legislation. After all, parents themselves will pay for the education of their children.

For foreigners

Is it possible to go to school without a residence permit? Yes. But, as a rule, this principle only applies to families where children and parents have Russian citizenship. Foreigners are not given such freedom.

As a rule, visiting families must apply to the education department and get a referral to a particular school. The document is issued without taking into account the registration and personal preferences of the applicants. Usually, a referral for admission to a school is made out where there are vacant places. Therefore, foreign citizens can rarely take advantage of enrollment in the institution where they want to go. Of course, they will try to pick up a school for the child closer to the place of registration, but if this is not possible, you will have to agree to any proposed option.

Recipe for success

How to get into a school without registration? We have already mentioned the need to act quickly. The sooner parents apply to enroll their child in an institution, the higher the chances of success.

Today, schools begin reviewing relevant requests from April 1 to June 30. Sometimes applications are accepted from March 1. From July 1, requests from parents whose children will go to a school outside of their residence permits are being considered. By this time, it is necessary to form a certain package of documents and submit an application of the established form to the director as soon as possible.

The documents

How to get into the first class without registration? Usually, parents have to not only hurry up with the application, but also immediately present all the necessary papers.

Among them are:

  • birth certificate;
  • child's medical record;
  • parent's passport
  • school application.

In addition, if the child has any diplomas, certificates, diplomas - all this must be brought with you. Schools are behind the scenes fighting among themselves, trying to accept only the best. And therefore, the presence of certificates and awards will contribute to the successful enrollment of the child in school. This fact needs special attention.

Several schools

How to get into a school without registration? The next tip is to apply to several educational institutions at once. This technique will help protect against failures. After selecting multiple schools, the parent must submit requests in the prescribed form to principals. The law permits this scenario.

After the end of the consideration of applications for enrollment in schools, parents within a week will have to confirm the fact of the child's admission to a particular institution. Immediately after that, the originals of the listed papers are given to the director. Otherwise, a child who is enrolled without taking into account registration may not be accepted into the school.

Temporary registration

How to arrange a child in a school not registered? There are a number of recommendations that will help bring the idea to life.

The first thing parents are offered is to issue a temporary residence permit for themselves and their child at the address associated with the chosen school. Then, in fact, children will be admitted to an educational institution in the first place. There will be no problems with such a scenario. The main thing is to find a person who will agree to register temporarily the parent and child at a suitable address.

On an ongoing basis

Thinking about how to arrange a child in a school without a residence permit, you have to be persistent and act quickly. In modern Russia, there is a real struggle for places in educational institutions. And even at the place of registration, not everyone can get into schools.

Therefore, some prefer to change their permanent residence permit to an address suitable for the chosen institution. A little troublesome, but it's easier than guessing whether a child will be taken to school or not. It is not difficult to guess that under such circumstances, children will be admitted to institutions in the first ranks. However, you should not hesitate to apply.

No places

The child did not get into the school by registration? What to do next?

This scenario is becoming more and more common. It does not mean that you can forget about enrolling in school. Parents have the right to apply with a corresponding request to the nearest educational institution.

After checking the places at the school, they will be accepted into the chosen institution, if it still has places to enroll children. Otherwise, you will have to select a school again. And so on until an institution is found that has free places for teaching children without registration.

Illegal Methods

How to arrange a child in a school not registered? Some parents, in pursuit of the prestige of educational institutions, are ready to break the law. It's about bribery.

It is enough to apply with a corresponding request to the director of the school of interest. Some willingly take money for enrolling children to themselves. Unfortunately, this practice is becoming more and more common. And therefore, it is often useless to think about how to get to school without a residence permit.

conclusions

Perhaps that's all. These tips will help increase your child's chances of successfully enrolling in school. It is advisable to use the registration of a temporary or permanent residence permit for a minor and one of the parents. Then, as we have already said, the child will be enrolled in an educational institution in the forefront.

But bribery is not the best solution. Thinking about how to get into a school that is not registered, you should not break the law. After all, there are effective solutions that are recognized as official.

One of the new stages in the life of every child is the beginning of school time.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to solve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and IS FREE!

For many children, the first of September is a holiday: white bows, a beautiful school uniform, a fashionable backpack and a pile of educational material. For parents, this is a particularly important moment. At the same time, the chores of arranging a child for school begin long before the first day of autumn.

To begin with, parents need to decide on the choice of an educational institution. It is from this stage that everything begins.

Right to education

The Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrines the provision that education in schools (basic general education) is compulsory for the citizens of our country. This means that every parent must provide education for their child. At the same time, parents should in no case prevent their children from learning. This rule is also enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

In the general sense of the word, education in the schools of the Russian Federation is supposed to be free. However, there are also so-called private schools, where education takes place on a fee basis. This is rather an exception to the rule. Choosing such educational institutions is the right of parents, not an obligation.

In addition, the official representatives of children are given the right to choose schools, gymnasiums, lyceums according to the level of preparedness and development of the child.

This means that a parent can choose an educational institution with the training program that would be able to fully prepare and develop the child's personal qualities at the proper level. But in some cases, such schools may refuse parents to accept children if all vacancies are filled, and the school is not located at the child's place of residence.

Territorial factor

If you pay attention, there are several schools in each district (microdistrict) of the city. It may also turn out that they will be located in close proximity to each other. A logical question may arise as to which school is tied to the place of residence of the child and whether there is one at all.

Indeed, the Russian law "On Education" fixes in its norms that there is a binding of residential facilities to educational institutions. This was done, first of all, in order to provide educational services to the maximum number of students living in the immediate vicinity of schools, since the convenience of visiting an educational institution on a territorial basis is a very important point for the quality education of children.

So, after receiving an answer to the question of whether it is possible to get a job in a school near the house, it is worth voicing the other part of the question: how to find out which school we belong to by registration.

How to find out which school the registration belongs to

Modern realities allow using several methods for obtaining information about educational services. Many of them are the most affordable for every citizen.

Such methods include:

  • study of Internet resources about education: sites of the school, the department of education, etc.;
  • visits to authorized state bodies, for example, education departments in a city, district, etc.;
  • personal visit to the school.

You can use one of these options, or you can use several methods to make the answer as reliable, complete and detailed as possible. Also, this is supposed to be done if there are doubts about the reliability of the information received, its correctness and legality.

Exploring the global network

Currently, each school, as well as any other educational institution, is required to have its own Internet resource. The amount of information, of course, on each of them can be different. Some educational institutions cover every important stage in the life of their students and teachers, tell in detail about various events, achievements, etc. Some schools are limited to general information.

However, it is mandatory for each such site to disclose information about:

  • which houses are assigned to the educational institution;
  • rules for the admission of students;
  • the number of places available for the next academic year;
  • what areas of education are carried out at school, etc.

In a special section on the site, you can get information about the territorial affiliation of the school, which streets and houses are assigned to it. This option is the fastest of all, as there is no need to leave your home, make an appointment in advance, stand in lines, etc.

Divisions and departments of education

In every Russian city there are authorized bodies for education. Visiting them by citizens on personal matters is possible, most often, at certain hours and days of the week. It is better to find out this information in advance so as not to waste time in vain.

Usually reception is carried out by appointment by phone. However, in some cases, and on a live queue.

Competent education officials should definitely give you an answer to the question of which school is assigned to your place of residence. But going to the department or department of education just for the sake of this issue is not the most convenient way. It is more suitable for those people who have other additional questions, if their solution is possible only with a personal visit.

Personal visit

Each parent has every right to go to a nearby or favorite school and find out everything that is important to him.

You can easily get information about:

  • whether the school is attached to the place of residence of the child;
  • how many study places are available;
  • what are the rules for admission to schools;
  • how likely it is to get into this school if it does not apply to registration and much more.

It is not possible to refuse to provide information or prohibit the parents of potential future students from attending the school.

It is recommended to use this method to obtain information, since in this way you can not only get acquainted with the administration of the school, but also see the conditions in which the process of teaching children takes place, the condition of the building, etc.

Refusal to accept

Such cases are not frequent, but possible. The most common and frequent reason for refusing to admit a student is the lack of study places, that is, if all classes are fully staffed. These responses from school administrations must be documented.

Each parent may demand proof that there really are no vacant places in the school, especially if the refusal was addressed to those to whom the school is assigned by registration.

There are age restrictions for admission to the school. As a general rule, the child must be 6 and a half years old by September 1 of the current school year. But this rule is not rigid. Sometimes, the level of preparation of children is so high that such an age limit is removed up to 2-3 months down.

It is not recommended to give children away before the established age, since at an earlier age in children there are certain differences not only in intellectual development, but also in emotional and mental development. Each child should be comfortable learning in a team.

All parents should remember that the state of health is not a categorical reason for refusing to accept a child in school if, according to a medical report, he is able to fully perceive information and contact adults and peers. This also applies to a number of mental illnesses.

If the child is not registered at the place of residence

Currently, the lack of registration is not a reason for denial of admission to an educational institution. It should be remembered that our state is obliged to take all possible measures to ensure that every Russian child receives an education at school.

If the parents were denied admission of the child because he does not live at the address attached to the school, then this is the basis for filing a complaint with the Ministry of Education and other authorities.

They can refuse only with a complete set of classes. However, parents should be provided with information about which schools still have vacant places. Of course, there are various life situations, but parents need to make sure that the child goes to the school that has a convenient territorial location or meets all the requirements of the parents so that there is no panic when the baby is placed in an educational institution.

You can apply to two schools at the same time. But there is a rule that before all, until July 31, students are enrolled by registration. But from August 1 until September 5, there is a subsequent completion of classes by those students who do not have a residence permit attached to the school.

School Enrollment Benefits

In each subject of the Russian Federation there are benefits for the admission of children to educational institutions. The list of those is best specified in the relevant department of education.

As a general rule, beneficiaries include children:

  • military personnel;
  • judges;
  • prosecutors;
  • police officers;
  • parents of those who were injured or died in the line of military duty;
  • parents injured, injured or killed in the line of duty.

Some regions of our country may be classified as beneficiaries:

  • children of single mothers;
  • children who are under guardianship;
  • children whose parents are deprived or limited in parental rights;
  • large families;
  • low-income families, etc.

If schools have pre-school courses, then those children who are their graduates can be enrolled in this educational institution as a matter of priority.

Permanent and temporary registration

As you know, citizens have the right to issue a temporary residence permit in their place of residence. But this is also an obligation if a citizen stays in another locality other than the place of permanent registration for more than 3 months in a row ( 90 days). Registration of a temporary residence permit for a minor child is recommended if it is in this area that he goes to school. This will make the enrollment process easier for parents.

It is worth noting that a parent who already has temporary registration at the place of residence can freely register their minor child on the territory of the living space without the consent of the owner of the housing. This state of affairs guarantees the full realization of the rights of the child, including to receive secondary education in schools, lyceums, gymnasiums and other similar educational institutions.
