Admissions

Admissions
Step 1. Visit by Parents/Guardians. Parents/guardians initiate the admissions process by contacting the school secretary on 44980124 to arrange a tour of the school. The first visit helps parents understand the school, meet staff, and see other children and their workbooks. Prospective students are then invited to meet with a member of the school team for an assessment visit, which may be conducted in a group or individually depending on the entry grade. The school admits students on a non-discriminatory basis, without regard to race, colour, nationality, family orientation, or ethnic origin.

Step 2. Registration. For Doha-based families, complete Registration Admission with a photograph attached and copies of passport, ID card and health/immunisation records. Pay the non-refundable registration fee. Current and previous year's transcripts, as well as school records from the current school, are sent directly from the current school.

Step 3. Entrance Assessment. Students are invited to attend AGS to complete the entrance assessment for the appropriate year group, with the assessment led by the teacher responsible for that year group when possible. If relocation outside Doha makes in-person assessment difficult, a phone or video conference may be arranged, or admission may be offered on the basis of the application and teacher evaluations and records from the current school. Final admissions decisions rest with the Principal and the school admissions committee. Parents are usually notified within 48 hours if accepted and must complete health forms, bus forms if applicable, and pay the uniform, book, and tuition fees.
