Admissions

How to apply, waitlist information, and financial support

Admissions Process

1. Decide suitability and engage with ARIS resources. ARIS provides online resources to help determine if ARIS is suitable for the family, and the Admissions Manager helps guide pre-application research. Experiencing the school environment in person is encouraged to make an informed decision. The admissions process is designed to be clear and transparent to support planning. 2. Submit online application. When you are ready, fill out and submit the online application, with requirements varying by the child's age. The Admissions Manager will acknowledge receipt and outline the next steps. 3. Review and next steps. Within two weeks of receiving a completed application, the Admissions Manager communicates the next steps, though timing may shift during peak admission seasons. Communication remains open as the process progresses and additional information may be requested if needed. 4. Admissions decision and assessment. The file is reviewed by the Admissions Manager with SMT and the Head of Primary/Secondary, and other team members as appropriate. If accepted and space is available, an admission assessment is arranged (cognitive in Secondary). After the assessment is marked, a place may be offered with a welcome letter. 5. Enrollment and waitlist. Applications are handled on a first-come-first-served basis. When spaces are limited, some candidates may be placed on the waiting list, with priority given to siblings of current students in good standing. A child's place on the waiting list is determined by the date the application is completed and all documentation and payments are received. 6. Denial or acceptance and enrollment. ARIS may deny admission if it is not the most appropriate environment. If accepted, a starting date is agreed, an Enrollment Contract is signed. The registration fee is non-refundable and must be paid along with full tuition, and all documents must be complete before commencement. Admission is conditional on parental agreement that students participate fully in the curriculum and activities, and the school's curriculum does not include elements that disrespect race or religion.

Waitlist

ARIS handles applications on a first-come-first-served basis. When spaces are limited, some candidates may be offered places on the waiting list, with priority given to siblings of current students in good standing. A child's place on the waiting list is determined by the date the application is completed and all documentation and payments are received.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

ARIS offers two IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) scholarships. The Malek Saleh Moussa Scholarship and the Anam Sultan Muiz Scholarship are awarded to two outstanding students who are not currently enrolled at ARIS. The scholarships aim to provide a career-focused education and help recipients develop lifelong 21st-century career and life skills.
