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.
Stage 1: Application. Submit an application form; once received, the admissions team will contact you to arrange a time for you and your child to visit the school and complete the application process. Core documents must be uploaded, including parents'/guardian's passport or ID, child's passport, birth certificate, health and immunization documentation, the most recent school report, previous year reports, and any relevant reports about learning needs. Applicants choose a CIS Branch: 6 October American, 6 October National English, 6 October National French (Franco), Zamalek British, Zamalek American, or Mohandessin National English. Applications with missing or incomplete documents are not processed, and the application fee must be paid before attending the interview and assessment.
Stage 2: Interview and Assessment. After processing the application, an interview and assessment for the child will be scheduled; a member of the admissions team will meet with the parents and the child to discuss the application and the child's interests, needs and talents.
Stage 3: Offer. Successful applicants will receive a letter offering a place within one week of the interview; the letter will be accompanied by an Acceptance Form and Terms and Conditions.
Stage 4: Acceptance. To accept, the signed Acceptance Form must be accompanied by the signed Terms and Conditions and a non-refundable Registration Fee.
Stage 5: Enrollment. Before students can be fully enrolled, documents required by the Ministry of Education in Egypt must be submitted to the Student Affairs Office.
