Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Curriculum, languages and entry readiness: Khalil Gibran School Rabat offers two curriculum pathways, Moroccan International Baccalaureate and British Curriculum, for children from 3 to 18 years old. English, Arabic and French are used as languages of instruction. Students entering must have age-appropriate fluency in English to participate in the curriculum. Entry dates must not be more than one year ahead of the application date. 2. Application requirements: The Admissions Application Form must be completed in full and signed by a parent or legal guardian. Submit a copy of the child's passport, the most recent school report (in English or translated), vaccination records, four passport-sized photographs, and copies of the child's National ID or Residence ID, along with a signed Parent Contract and the non-refundable Registration Fee. Additional documents such as medical or educational reports may be requested where relevant. 3. Submitting the application: Applications can be submitted by hand or scanned and emailed. The date the completed application is received determines the applicant's initial place on the waiting list. A separate application is required for each child. 4. Initial review and availability check: After receipt, the School checks that the entry date is within one year and whether a place is available in the appropriate year group or likely to become available within a year. If entry within a year seems unlikely, the parent is informed that the child will be assessed for a place on the waiting list only and the most recent school report will be requested. If a place is available, the School proceeds to verify the information and supporting documents. If items are missing, the parent is asked to provide them. 5. Assessment scheduling: When all required admissions documentation is submitted, the Admissions team will contact the parent to schedule an entry assessment test. In certain circumstances, such as a pandemic, the student may be assessed based on the most recent school report. The assessment aligns with the year group for which admission is sought. 6. Admissions criteria and readiness testing: Admissions require the student to be able to cope with the curriculum. The following must be completed: a fully filled Admissions Form with medical information, copies of passport and IDs, school leaving certificate, vaccination and medical records, and signed Parent Contract. Assessments measure readiness in English, Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Ability; satisfactory references from previous schools; and payment of the required fees (Registration, Educational Technology Fee, and Tuition). For Sixth Form entry, GCSE results (or equivalent) and typical grades in intended A-level subjects are considered, with conditional offers common. 7. Normal application timeline: The School accepts students throughout the year, but for a September start the usual process begins in October of the preceding year. If applications exceed places, admissions may close at the School's discretion; places for September are usually finalised by the end of the academic year. 8. Assessment process by year group: Entry assessments are designed to match the year group's curriculum. FS1/FS2 involve observation on site; Year 1-2 assess conversational skills and social behavior; Year 3-6 assessments are usually exam-style with Maths, English, Non-Verbal Reasoning and a short writing task; Year 7-10 assessments are online or on-site with similar components plus a short essay; Sixth Form involves online assessments, a written essay and consideration of prior work; Applicants may be interviewed or provide additional evidence as needed. 9. Decision outcomes: After assessment, the School determines whether to offer an unconditional place, a conditional offer or non-admission. Conditional offers link to specified conditions and require additional evidence to show conditions have been met; final decisions are communicated by the Headteacher and recorded in the student file. 10. Waitlists: Waitlists exist for most year groups with a rolling system. If no place is available, applications remain on the Waiting List until a place becomes available; Year 10 and Year 12 entries are typically prioritised at the start of the academic year and no later than October, subject to Executive Headteacher approval. 11. Enrollment and onboarding: If a place is accepted, the Parent Contract is signed and the Registration Fee paid. Enrollment is not final until the Registration Fee and First Term Tuition are paid. The School may withdraw an offer if deadlines are missed. The first term invoice is issued after enrollment is confirmed.	Admissions 1. Begin by contacting the Admissions team.
