Admissions
1. Online Admission Enquiry (Step 1 of 2). The form collects essential student and family information to begin the application. It asks for Student Name, Academic Year, Gender, Date of Birth, and Grade, as well as Previous School Name and Previous grade year. It also requests parent names and occupations, contact details (Mobile and Email), and address in English and Arabic. It includes interview and assessment preferences (Online or In-school for both interview and assessment) and asks how the family heard about Marvel. 2. Interview and Assessment Modality (Step 2). The form shows options to choose the preferred method for the parent interview (Online Interview or In school premises Interview) and for the assessment (Online Assessment or In school premises Assessment). The two options for interview and the two options for assessment indicate that interviews and assessments may be conducted either online or on campus. This step is part of completing the online admission enquiry as the admissions process continues after Step 1.
