This framework is structured across different stages, beginning with the "Foundation Stage" for the final year of kindergarten. The school then progresses through Key Stages for Lower Primary (Key Stage 1), Upper Primary (Key Stage 2), and Secondary School (Key Stages 3 & 4). Students typically pursue IGCSE examinations at the Secondary level. Beyond IGCSEs, the school also provides A-Level qualifications, which are pre-university programmes.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Families begin by completing the admissions application form. At this stage, parents are asked to provide supporting documents, including school reports and relevant background information. For A-Level applicants, a separate application form with an RM 250 fee is required.

2. Applicants are invited for two full days of assessment, which includes formal testing, classroom participation, and informal observation. The purpose of this step is to determine a student’s academic readiness, English proficiency, and ability to adapt to elc’s structured learning environment.

3. Each applicant attends a short, informal interview with the relevant principal or head of division. This conversation provides an opportunity for school leaders to understand the student’s motivation, personality, and background while giving families a chance to ask specific questions.

4. During the assessment days, students are paired with a “buddy” from their year group to support them through lessons and activities. This helps the admissions team evaluate how the applicant interacts with peers and adapts to classroom routines.

5. The school’s Admissions Selection Committee reviews the full profile: test results, teacher observations, interview notes, and feedback from the trial period. Families are then notified of the outcome in writing, typically within 5–7 working days.

6. Successful applicants receive an offer of place, along with fee payment instructions and an enrolment checklist. Before the student starts, a pre-start meeting with the leadership team is arranged to ensure families are fully briefed about expectations and routines.

Scholarships
The school does not advertise specific scholarship programs for prospective students.

Waitlist
The school operates a waitlist system. If a specific year group has reached its full capacity, students who successfully pass the entrance assessment may be placed on this waitlist. The waiting period can vary, typically ranging from 6 to 18 months. While efforts are made to determine the waitlist order by application and assessment date, sibling admissions may take priority.
