Admissions

How to apply, waitlist information, and financial support

Admissions Process

1. To initiate the admission process, submit the following documents to the registrar: Application for Admission Form; Student Medical Form and Vaccination Report; Copy of Birth Certificate and Passport; Copy of School Reports from the Previous School Year. After submission, placement testing for the grade level is organized. A final admission decision cannot be made without these documents. 2. If acceptance is granted, the parents complete additional forms: SABIS Digital Platform (SDP) Form; Guarantee Form; Pick-Up/Drop-Off Authorization Form; Uniform Selection Form; Transport Request Form (if required); Meals Request Form (if required). A Clearance Letter from the previous school is required if applicable. Nationality matters: non-Kenyan nationals receive assistance with the documentation required to apply for an annually renewable Pupil's Pass under Kenyan Immigration Law; Dependent's Passes are no longer exempt unless at least one parent has diplomatic status. 3. Admission decisions are made after careful evaluation of candidates, including the results of diagnostic testing and previous school records. Additional criteria include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the ability of SABIS® Runda to accommodate the candidate's needs. 4. Families are encouraged to visit SABIS® Runda for a school tour and to talk with admission staff. Appointments can be made by contacting the school administration. 5. There is no application deadline, but admission decisions are based on spaces available throughout the school year. Applications are accepted, but offers are granted based on space available. There is no joining fee on the first occasion of going through the admission process. 6. Once accepted and the required fees are paid, a place for the student is reserved. This reserves the seat for the upcoming term and completes enrollment steps.
