Admissions

Admissions
Step 1: Check the Student Grade Placement Chart. ABA places students with age-appropriate peers and the final grade placement is determined after a full review of all required documents. The 2025-2026 School Year chart provides the age-to-grade mappings for Early Childhood through High School.

Step 2: Apply now. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, subject to space. If ABA is a good fit for your family, apply early. The online application form collects detailed information to help the Admissions team understand the student.

Step 3: Documents Required. Prepare digitally: copy of passport; copy of Oman Resident Card (if applicable); current and previous year school reports (must be translated into English and notarized); official school records and/or transcripts for the past two years; provide any documentation identifying learning and behavioural needs (if applicable).

Step 4: Submit Application Fee. A non-refundable application fee of 75 OMR is required for each application. You can pay at the school or via bank transfer; if paying by bank transfer, email a copy of the transfer receipt to the Registrar with the applicant's name so the payment is applied correctly.

Step 5: Evaluation. Students applying to Kindergarten 1–Grade 5 may be invited to visit a classroom as part of the admissions process. Students applying to Grades 3–12 will be scheduled a placement screener to provide the school with baseline language and mathematics skills.

After Applying: Confirm Placement. When a place is offered and accepted, return a signed Declaration of Acceptance. The Admissions team sends the document at the time a spot is offered. A deposit of 10% of the annual tuition is required to confirm acceptance and is deducted from the first semester fees; the deposit is non-refundable unless a written withdrawal notice is provided before the specified date.
