Admissions
Admissions
1. Admissions status for 2026–2027: the online application is closed and will reopen after August 17, 2026. Registrations for FS1–Year 9 are online and register applicants for the waiting list, not a confirmed seat. The minimum age for FS1 is 3 by August 31 of the academic year. All fields must be completed; applicants receive an automated registration number upon submission. 2. After registration and depending on seat availability, parents submit required documents: copies of the child's passport and UAE visa or residency page; copies of the parents' passports and Emirates IDs; copies of the child's Emirates ID; the latest two years' final reports; and a non‑refundable pre-registration fee. The documents are reviewed and shortlisted candidates are invited to an Entrance Assessment Test. Entrance tests vary by year level and include English and Math; CAT4 and NGRT may be used for older year groups; all tests are conducted in April or May. Parents are notified of the results by email within two weeks of the test. 3. Admissions are confirmed subject to the assessment results. Priority for appearing for tests is given to siblings of students already at Dubai Gem, provided they meet the entrance criteria. After tests, the student and parent are invited to an interview with the Principal; two reference letters may be required. KHDA procedures require original Emirates IDs to be scanned and the KHDA Parent School Contract to be signed; this completes KHDA registration. 4. Secondary admissions: entry for Years 7–9 requires English and Math assessments plus CAT4 and NGRT; admissions are not offered for Years 10 or 11. The school looks for evidence of academic ability and involvement in arts and sports, based on previous reports. External Sixth Form applicants must have high grades and be fluent in English; offers follow completion of the admission process. Any student admitted must meet KHDA requirements and remain in good standing with the contract. 5. SEND ADMISSION: Dubai Gem Private School is inclusive and accommodates learners with needs. An updated report from an external specialist is requested to plan need-based provisions.
Admissions
Step 1. Pre-enrollment prerequisites. The KHDA age criteria apply. For entry to Maternelle, children born in 2022 join Petite Section in 2025/2026; for entry to PS/MS/GS, an age waiver is required for those born between September 1 and December 31 of 2022, 2021, or 2020. The child must be toilet trained before starting. A placement test and/or an interview may be required, payable at 300 AED; final acceptance decisions are made by the principal and the school reserves the right to refuse an application.
Step 2. Enrollment modalities. Enrollment is online only through Eduka. The process includes creating the child's file, acknowledging receipt, and the inscriptions service issuing a decision. If accepted, an invoice for 500 AED processing fees plus 10% of the annual tuition is sent by the finance service; payment within the deadlines confirms admission by email. A form on Eduka collects information about the child's habits and the family's motivations for choosing LFIGP, and dossiers are reviewed in order of arrival against criteria such as Emirati nationality, staff children, siblings already enrolled, prior AEFE experience, or other curriculums.
Step 3. Language pathways. In Maternelle, PS join the Section Internationale Français Renforcé (SIFR) with three hours of English per week. In MS and GS, parents may choose between the Section Internationale Français Renforcé and the Section Internationale Anglais Renforcé. For the English-reinforced option, priority is given to pupils previously in LFIGP's English-reinforced MS/GS, then to AEFE international sections, then to students with strong command of French; the program uses two teachers and KHDA fees apply as indicated in the KHDA School Fact Sheet.
Step 4. Waiting list. The school opens a waiting list when applications exceed places. Being on the waiting list does not guarantee admission. Parents on the waiting list are informed as soon as a vacancy arises. The waiting list helps manage admissions and supports a smooth transition for new arrivals.
Step 5. Inclusion. The Inclusion team may be consulted to assess needed supports; admission of students with identified special educational needs may require AESH support, and families are responsible for arranging and funding this assistance. The school may conduct an interview with the family and educators to determine supports.
Step 6. Payments and documents. If a place is offered, an invoice for 500 AED processing fee and 10% of the annual tuition is issued; these fees are non-refundable. For mid-year entry, tuition is prorated and payment is due within 7 days; failure to pay may cancel the place and the slot may be offered to another family on the waiting list. Required documents include copies of identity papers, the last two years of report cards, and other items specified in the pre-registration dossier; a valid UAE resident visa for the student and parents is necessary to enroll.
