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. Obtain the application form from the school administration office, or request that it be sent by email by contacting the Admissions Manager. If you have more than one child, submit a separate application for each student. Return the completed application form and all supporting documents within seven working days from when you receive the form. This step begins the admissions process and sets the timeline for your submissions.
2. Complete the form in full and sign the parental statement. All relevant information must be declared, including any disciplinary, social, physical, medical, or psychological concerns. If any relevant facts are not disclosed, an offer of placement may be withdrawn even after classes have begun. Ensure the information provided is accurate to avoid jeopardizing the application.
3. Undergo the school's assessment process. Admission is based on the assessment of the student's ability to benefit from the school's programs and to be successful. The assessment may include interviews with the student and parents, conducted by the school staff, and written assessments appropriate to the entry level. English, Mathematics, Science, and Arabic are typically assessed for entry.
4. Understand that applications will not be processed until all information, the registration fee, and reports are received. Admissions are issued based on vacancies in the grade for the following year. This vacancy-based approach means seat availability can influence timing and outcome.
5. Expect notification within about a week after the assessment and review. Parents are informed whether it is likely or unlikely that the child will benefit from the school's opportunities, based on the assessment results and other information available at the time. This communication determines the next steps in the process.
6. If placed, proceed with acceptance and fees. The admission fee is 50 Omani Rials, with a 2 RO discount for the second child and subsequent children. A 50% discount on admission fees is offered from 5 August to 15 August. Monthly basic tuition is 25 RO. After acceptance, follow the school's enrollment steps to finalize the placement.
The school does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system.
The school does not describe any scholarship program.
