Step 2 — Submit the Application

Complete the online application form and pay any applicable non-refundable application or registration fee.

An application can only be processed once the required form and supporting documents have been received.

Step 3 — Provide the Required Documents

Families will normally be asked to provide:

  • Student’s valid passport

  • Student’s UAE residence visa or Emirates ID, where applicable

  • Parent or guardian passports

  • Parent or guardian UAE residence visas or Emirates IDs, where applicable

  • Academic reports from the previous two years, where applicable

  • Transfer Certificate from the previous school

  • Immunisation record

  • Completed application form

  • Any relevant Individual Education Plan

  • Educational psychologist or medical reports, where applicable

Documents must be complete, accurate and submitted within the requested deadlines.

The Admissions team will acknowledge a complete application within three school days.

Step 4 — Complete the Placement Assessment

After reviewing the application, the Admissions team will arrange an age-appropriate baseline or placement assessment.

The assessment may include:

  • Academic activities

  • English-language screening

  • Review of previous school reports

  • Discussion with the student

  • Review of any additional learning needs

The assessment will normally be scheduled within ten school days of receiving a complete application, subject to availability.

Where additional learning needs are identified or disclosed, the Exceptional Learners team may review the application before an offer is confirmed.

Step 5 — Application Review and Decision

The Admissions team and relevant academic leaders review the completed application, documents and assessment results.

A written decision will normally be provided within five school days of completing the assessment.

The outcome may be:

  • An offer of admission

  • A request for further information

  • Placement on a waiting list where no place is available

  • A decision that the school cannot currently provide the support required

Step 6 — Accept the Offer

Families have five school days to accept an offer and pay any applicable enrolment deposit.

If the offer is not accepted within this period, the place may be released to another eligible applicant.

The offer letter will explain the acceptance requirements, payment arrangements and any outstanding conditions.

Step 7 — Complete Enrolment and KHDA Registration

Enrolment is finalised after:

  • The offer has been accepted

  • Applicable payments have been received

  • Required documents have been verified

  • The enrolment contract has been completed

  • KHDA registration requirements have been satisfied

Where attestation or equivalency is still in progress, original attested documents must normally be submitted within 30 calendar days of enrolment. Enrolment may be placed on hold if required documents are not provided.

Transfer Students

Students transferring from another school must provide the required Transfer Certificate.

Students transferring from another Dubai private school must also provide evidence of formal withdrawal from their previous school before enrolment can be completed.

Waiting Lists

If no place is available, the applicant may be added to the relevant waiting list.

Families will be updated each term or sooner if a place becomes available. An offer made from the waiting list must be accepted within five school days.
