Documents for admission to the school can be submitted online on the website "Electronic registration in institutions of general secondary education" at the link . To do this, you need to register on the site, choose an institution of general secondary education, create an application and confirm it with documents in the institution

Electronic registration is not available in Kyiv, but it is possible to submit an application online to the school's e-mail address (at the applicant's choice). Enrollment will be carried out on the basis of the application of one of the parents, submitted in person or scanned copies or photocopies. Documents must confirm the place of residence of the child, one of his parents (or people who replace them) in the territory of the institution. If parents do not have the opportunity to obtain a medical certificate for their child by May 31, this is not a reason to refuse enrollment. Original documents and medical certificates must be submitted to the educational institution no later than August 18, 2023 inclusive. More details at the link .

Children up to the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parent's health insurance. After receiving the temporary protection the parents will receive a health insurance certificate which is equivalent to Carte Vitale (French state health insurance card). With this certificate you can access free or highly subsidized healthcare.
There are 3 sectors of doctors in France: sector 1 doctors set fixed fees and they fully covered by the public health insurance and additional protection that you receive. Sector 2 and 3 doctors set their own fees, with sector 3 being the most expensive. You may get only partially reimbursed for seeing a doctor from sector 2 and 3. Look for a doctor that's marked "conventionné", and even better - "conventionné secteur 1" in order to be fully covered by medical insurance. Another important consideration to be reimbursed is to follow "parcours de soin", to first go to a general practitioner (genéraliste) that will refer you to a specialist after the first general appointment.
For children health care you can either contact a generalist that accepts kids or a pediatrician.
