Admissions

Admissions
1. Complete an application. Begin by filling out the application form and submitting it for review. Prepare to attach the documents listed in Step 2 as part of the submission. This step starts the admissions review process and moves your application toward consideration.

2. Submit the required documents. Provide a copy of the student's passport and a copy of the parent's passport, a copy of residency ID, and a copy of the residency permit if applicable. Include four photos, transcripts for the past three years, a birth certificate copy, and a vaccination record. Ensure all copies are legible and up to date. These documents accompany the application for the review and decision process.

3. Entrance exams. Students must sit for entrance exams in English, Arabic, and Math. Non-Arabic speaking students will be exempted from the Arabic entrance exam. Exam results are used to assess readiness and determine eligibility for enrollment.

4. Interview. Students must attend an interview to determine eligibility for enrollment. The interview provides additional context about the student's fit with the program. The outcome of the interview informs the next steps toward enrollment.

5. Application limit and initial decision. A student may submit only one application form per year. Duplicate applications are not accepted. The interview and exam results contribute to the final enrollment decision.

6. Registration and conduct. The school reserves the right to terminate registration or expel a student if rules and regulations are not followed. Disciplinary actions and policy compliance are described in the school policies. Enrollment may be affected by behavior and adherence to school expectations.

7. Re-entry policy. A student who leaves, is dismissed, or withdraws is not allowed to re-apply; a re-entry application must include the student's previous number. This ensures continuity of records and enrollment history.

8. Fees and payment. Registration, testing, and interview fees are non-refundable even if a student is placed on a waiting list. Tuition fees are non-refundable if cancellation occurs, and a written notice is required for withdrawal. Payment options include a full upfront payment or installments as outlined in the policy.

9. Final steps and timelines. Admission decisions are communicated after the review of documents, exams, and the interview. The school follows the published policies for withdrawal, refunds, and payment schedules. Parents should plan accordingly for timelines communicated by the admissions team.
