APPLICATION PROCESS
Application forms should be completed online. All details are entered into our Open Apply data management system – we are unable to accept paper copies.
The following documents should be scanned and uploaded together with the application form:
- A recent passport size photo (of learner).
- National ID (of learner).
- Passport copy (of learner).

- A copy of any assessments relating to Additional Educational Support Needs (e.g., Educational Psychologist reports, Speech, and Language Therapy), if applicable.
After submitting the application form:
- Applicants will be invited to undertake an assessment interview.
- The assessment interview is aimed at establishing a conversation with parents and learners to evaluate if and how the school will benefit the candidate’s educational experience.
- For preschool, the assessment interview includes play activities and dialogue.
- As the learner progresses in Primary, the importance of the mastery of English becomes more important. The assessment interview will still be looking at acquired skills and prior knowledge but also at the learner’s language profile.
- Secondary learners are assessed upon their previous academic performance and an online MAP test, held on campus and a personal interview.
- The school admissions committee makes the final decision on admissions.
- This committee includes the Counsellors or Learning Support team and representatives from the admissions team, and when applicable, the Academic Coordinators, Principal and Head of School.
- The acceptance is communicated to the parents by the admissions officer through Open Apply.
- Once a place is offered, families have five (5) working days to secure the learner’s spot by making a reservation payment of BD 150.
- Failure to receive the reservation fee within five (5) working days will result in the place not being held.
- Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions or if we can be of assistance.
