The short answer
Colegio York lists bilingual teaching from early years at central La Plata addresses. APDES lists boys' education at Bosque del Plata and girls' education at Crisol, both in Gonnet. Choose a campus only after confirming the place, grade, fees and daily journey. University admission has its own documents and deadlines, separate from school enrollment.
- A bilingual description does not confirm an international program or a place for your child.
- York's secondary address differs from its other listed campus.
- UNLP's 2026 intake calendar is historical. Ask for the next intake dates.
- Museo La Plata lists family activities and free entry for children under 13.

UNLP foreign-student requirements
UNLP Resolution 1569/2025 governed entry for the 2026 academic year. Article 1 set registration for November 10 to December 12, 2025. Those dates are not the next intake calendar. Ask the faculty for its current registration process.4
Article 3 addresses identity documents and completed secondary studies from abroad, including legalization or apostille, Argentine validation and public translation when required. Article 4 requires Spanish certification for applicants whose first language is not Spanish. It names CELU and CertEA, with faculty decisions on level and accepted equivalents.4
Article 11 sets November 27, 2026 for the relevant residence or precaria documentation in that intake. Confirm the document required for your case and the next intake rules with the faculty.4
A museum outing with children
Museo La Plata posts free entry for children under 13. Its listed family activities for children from age 4 run on weekends, with separate times to confirm. The museum also describes an autism-related support program for families and therapeutic companions.3
Contact the museum about the particular activity, booking and access needs. Its family program does not assess every entrance or guarantee availability for a future visit.3
Questions people ask

Which UNLP intake dates should I use?
The cited resolution covers the 2026 academic year and a registration window in November and December 2025. Ask the faculty for the next intake calendar rather than reusing those dates.

For applicants whose first language is not Spanish, the cited 2026 rules require proof. CELU and CertEA are named, while the faculty sets the level and may accept equivalents. Confirm the current rule for your course.
Do young children pay at Museo La Plata?
