Admissions	Admissions 1. From the beginning of March each year, the new student visits the Admissions and Registration Department to obtain a No Objection to Registration form (QF 01-07) and takes it with him to the Admissions Examinations Committee and Interviews Committee to certify the exam and interview results, with those results signed by the authorized committees before returning the form to the Registration Department to begin the registration process. 2. The new student sits for an admission exam and a personal interview according to the procedure described in Supervisory Department Form No. 7. After approval of the admission, the student and the parent review the Registration Department, bringing the No Objection to Registration. 3. The student then completes the admission steps: a school tour and interview with the principal, a review of the admission and registration and obtaining the No Objection form, a review by the supervision section for evaluation and examination and to fix the interview result, and then returning to the Admissions and Registration to complete the required papers and pay the fees. 4. After that, the student proceeds to the Supplies Department to receive the uniform and books. 5. Documents required include: for the Playgroup, Nursery, Pre-K and Grade 1 group — three passport photos, a certified birth certificate, a family book copy, and the original immunization card; for Grades 2 through 12 — a student file containing all required papers; for students coming from outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan — documents must be certified by the originating country (Ministry of Education in that country, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Jordanian Embassy) and then authenticated in Jordan by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Examinations and Tests, or the Directorate of Private Education (the school can complete authentication on behalf of the student). 6. Old students (those renewing) are not automatically registered and must reserve a seat by paying the registration fee; otherwise they have the same registration priority as new students subject to seat availability. 7. General notes include: a school bus system that starts early in the morning; transport to additional zones only with prior coordination; and the right to adjust bus fees if fuel prices rise. 8. The school requires that students and families follow the student code of conduct as part of the registration agreement and, for students in certain stages, that the student signs the conduct code themselves. Bus and uniform procedures, and the sequence of steps for completing the registration are detailed in the admission procedures and related sections. (Source material: Admissions page and subpages.)	Admissions 1) Placement tests and interview. The school conducts placement tests in Arabic language, English language, and Maths for new students. A personal interview with the manager is conducted as part of the admission process. The school uses the results of the tests and the interview to determine placement and approve admission. 2) Documentation. New students must submit authenticated and valid copies of the following: birth certificate, family ID notebook, vaccinations record, and four recent photos. For non-Jordanian residents, a passport and residency are required. The Transition Certificate, the Student's file, the annual academic year, and the school certificate for the last academic year must also be provided.
