Bahrain
Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. NGPS enrolls students from the international and local community in Bahrain. The school follows a Cambridge Curriculum to provide a British education within the context of its local Islamic culture. Students are bilingual and are educated to become independent, active, and involved global citizens who contribute to society. Parents must complete all admissions procedures and agree to follow the school's policies as part of enrollment.
2. Ages for Early Years and Primary entry are defined as follows: Early Years Foundation Stage comprises ages 3-5 (Nursery, KG-1, KG-2) with 3-year-olds eligible for Nursery, 4-year-olds for KG-1, and 5-year-olds for KG-2. Primary School entry requires students to be 6 years old and meet all admission requirements.
3. Application process follows a step-by-step path: requests for enrollment are accepted online, by phone, or in person; prospective parents receive an information packet; a meeting with the Admissions Officer explains the programme and answers questions; the prospective student completes an entry assessment; on successful assessment and Principal approval, the parent submits the registration forms. The school maintains a continuous admissions policy throughout the year.
4. There are criteria for admission withdrawal and potential reasons for refusing admission: the school may refuse or limit enrollment if the program requires significant modification, if the student requires services not provided by NGPS, if there is persistent behavior problems or unsatisfactory academic performance, if policies or discipline codes are not adhered to, or if full educational records have not been disclosed.
5. Documents required in the first stages of the admission process include a Transfer Certificate from the previous school; the original CPR for the student and both parents; proof of residency; two passport-sized photographs; a copy of the student's birth certificate; immunization records and health form; the previous year's school report (for admission to Grade 1 and above); and a Certificate of Equivalency from the Bahrain Ministry of Education for students transferring from outside Bahrain.
6. Accreditation and oversight: NGPS is accredited by Cambridge, the Ministry of Education Bahrain, and COBIS.
