Admissions

1) Admission assessment: All prospective students take an assessment. The standardized test scores determine if the child has achieved an average or above-average standard in each subject. It is important to ensure that the educational program can serve the applicant's educational needs. After considering all aspects of the admissions process, the admissions team makes a final decision.
2) Registration and acceptance steps: If accepted, parents visit the Registration Department to pay a non-refundable registration fee of KD 100 and provide a good conduct certificate from the previous school (if applicable).
3) Required documents: All applicants must submit the documents and complete the procedure set by the school; Kuwaiti students provide a set of items (2 recent photos, birth certificate and vaccination card, copies of civil IDs, father's nationality certificate, transcripts for the last four years, a certificate of good conduct, custody and/or death certificates if applicable, and proof of father's presence for registration); non-Kuwaiti students provide a set of items (2 recent photos, birth certificate and vaccination card, copies of civil IDs, copies of passports including residency page, transcripts for the last four years, a certificate of good conduct, custody and/or death certificates if applicable, and proof of father's presence for registration).
