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. Documentation: Complete the registration form signed by the parent/guardian. Required documents include birth certificate and vaccination records. Two passport-sized photographs; copies of the student's, mother's, and father's civil IDs; a copy of the father's nationality for Kuwaitis. Copies of the father's and student's passports and a valid residence for non-Kuwaitis; the previous year's report card; and any judicial decisions related to the student. 2. Admission Assessments: Personal interviews and assessments gauge the student's mental well-being and interaction capabilities. The student must be independent during the interview, with no parental interference. Academic evaluation tests in English, Arabic, and Mathematics are administered, tailored to the grade applied for, and a test fee of 50 dinars applies. Parents/guardians may not interfere or guide the student during the assessment, and any mediation may result in rejection and a required retest. 3. Post-Assessment Results: Successful candidates sign a Registration Contract and pay the registration fees and the first tuition installment within a fortnight of the result announcement. A medical file is created through the School Health Department, and the admission paper (Acceptance Notice) is obtained to facilitate transfer procedures from the previous school. 4. Waitlist Procedures: If applications exceed available spots, students may be placed on a waitlist. The criteria for waitlisting are a combination of academic performance, extracurricular achievements, and date of application. Students will be notified promptly if a spot becomes available. 5. Appeals Process: Parents or guardians may submit a formal appeal detailing grounds for appeal to the admissions department; the admissions department reviews the appeal and provides a response within 30 days. The process is designed to be transparent and fair. 6. Annual Review and Feedback: The admission policy is reviewed annually to ensure relevance and effectiveness, and a channel for feedback is available for stakeholders. Feedback helps inform updates to the policy.
