We assure parents that a child’s enrollment will be considered based on clear guidelines and expectations which the registration department is always ready to discuss with parents and guardians. Every parent signs a Parent-School Contract which reviewed and approved by KHDA on yearly basis. We are kindly requesting all parents and guardians to read the contract carefully as it contains useful information and guidelines for both students and parents. A sample of the Parent-School Contract is available in the Admissions Policy tab.

The registration process is generally completed within one week, unless exceptional circumstances apply (ex. missing original documents, visa, etc.). Please be advised that it is not possible to select your child’s teachers or section. The school leaders will decide on students’ allocations and class distribution based on several internal factors which might include but not limited to; gender, number of students, availability of support and special programs.
