Admissions

Admissions
Step 1: Admission is based on past school records, an entrance assessment, and in some cases an interview and an English proficiency test. Qualified students are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. Final placement depends on the results of the entrance assessment.

Step 2: The child's previous school report must be attested by the home country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Qatar Embassy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar. Attestation confirms authenticity for admission. This attestation is required for consideration.

Step 3: Applicants must submit four recent passport-sized photographs and copies of the applicant's passport and QID, as well as copies of both parents' passports and QID. A report from the previous school, immunization records, a completed medical form, and a signed Fee Regulation form are required. A copy of the child's birth certificate must be provided; all documents must be submitted before the entrance exam date.

Step 4: After the documents are submitted, you may apply for a test date by appointment and pay a QR 204 non-refundable entrance exam fee. Testing is conducted by appointment. You will be notified of the results by telephone or email.

Step 5: The school does not guarantee or reserve places; places are guaranteed only when the required fees are paid. To confirm acceptance, pay the non-refundable Registration Fee at the Accounts Office.
