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. Meeting with the Communication Director. Parents meet with the Communication Director to receive full information about the different sections of the school. This meeting explains NIC's structure and programs, helping families understand where their child might fit within the IB and American divisions. It provides initial guidance on the admissions process.
2. Application form. An application form must be completed in full for the desired academic year and division. The form collects student and family information, including nationality, previous schooling, and contact details. It serves as the formal request to enroll the student in the appropriate program.
3. Assessment, interview, and availability. Acceptance is subject to student assessment, the parents' interview, and the availability of a place. The assessment evaluates the student's readiness for the IB or American programs, and the interview provides context on the family and expectations. Availability determines whether admission can proceed.
4. Acceptance notification and registration payment. Parents are notified of acceptance one week after the interview and entry assessment. Following notification, the non-refundable registration fee must be paid within 10 working days to secure a place. This completes the formal offer of enrollment.
5. Documentation submission. New students applying for enrolment submit documents to the Admission Office: the application form; the student's academic reports for the previous two years; an original computerized birth certificate for Egyptian applicants or a passport photocopy for non-Egyptian applicants; 12 recent photographs; the last educational certificate for the parents; and a letter from work. These documents must be provided to support the enrollment review. The submission helps verify identity, family details, and eligibility.
6. Fees payment schedule. School fees are paid in three installments. The first installment includes full bus fees plus 40% of educational fees and is due in June. The second installment is 30% of educational fees due in September. The third installment is 30% of educational fees due in January.
