King's School The Crown

The school is a selective, mixed‑ability, co‑educational British Curriculum international school for ages 3 months to 18 years. All instruction is in English, with language lessons in Arabic, French and Spanish. Students are assessed for entry to the year group appropriate for their age: Nursery and FS1/FS2 are observed; Years 1–2 are observed; Years 3–6 undertake entrance assessments; Years 7–11 sit online entrance assessments (Verbal, Non‑Verbal, Quantitative and Spatial reasoning) and a short writing task; Sixth Form follows either A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme. The formal application process opens a year before September admission. Steps: submit the application form and relevant documentation; assessment scheduled and registration fee paid; assessments and interviews with the Head of School and Executive Head; place offered; tuition fees and deposit paid. Before applying, provide: parents' IDs, pupil passport and previous school report. For transfers within Egypt, provide a transfer certificate stamped by the current school and the relevant educational department after passing the BISC assessment exam. For international entrants, provide the last two school reports stamped by the Egyptian Embassy or Consulate and passport copies for the child and both parents; foreigners may submit a copy of their residence permit. The application fee is 20,000 EGP per child, refundable if a place is not available within the date or if the child does not meet the criteria; fee may be waived at the school's discretion. Admission criteria include an entrance assessment designed to determine if the student can access the curriculum, exemplary academic and behavioural records, native English speaker status, and siblings already attending; early application is encouraged. Wait lists are common; the school operates a rolling waitlist for most year groups, with Year 10 and Year 12 entry preferred at the start of the academic year and no later than the end of October, subject to the Executive Head's approval. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee a place; offers are made from the waitlist based on the Admissions criteria. If, toward the end of the academic year, no place is offered, the Admissions team may request a re‑evaluation and, if progress is satisfactory, the pupil may be waitlisted as a priority to roll‑over to the next academic year. Deferrals of up to one academic year are possible. When a place is offered, the family is contacted by telephone and email and must sign the Parent School Agreement and pay the 20,000 EGP application fee plus the first term's tuition. Enrollment is not final until all fees and documentation have been received; the first term is probationary. Conditional offers are governed by the school's policy, with a defined review process.

Waitlists are expected for most year groups; a rolling waitlist is used so applications stay on the list until a place becomes available, with Year 10 and Year 12 entry preferred at the start of the academic year and no later than October, subject to approval. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee admission; offers come from the waitlist according to the Admissions criteria. If there is no offer by the end of the academic year, a re‑evaluation may be conducted and, if progress is shown, the pupil may be waitlisted as a priority for the next year. A deferred application for one academic year is possible. When a place is offered, the family is contacted by telephone and email and must respond by the stated deadline to accept and complete enrolment formalities.
