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.
Step 1 — Inquiry and appointment: The Registration Office is open Sunday through Thursday from 08:30 to 13:00. Families may contact the office by telephone or email to arrange an appointment to discuss the requirements for registering a prospective student. The initial meeting provides an overview of IPS Oman, clarifies which documents will be needed, and outlines the next steps in the admission process.
Step 2 — General requirements collection: You must prepare and submit a set of general documents. These include the Registration Form, a School Medical Form (or immunization certificate), six passport-size photographs of the student, a copy of the child's valid passport or birth certificate, and a valid passport or ID card of the parent. You also need report cards, transcripts, or certificates from previous years (attested if from outside Oman), and assessments for Nursery, KG-1, and KG-2 or written entrance tests for Grades 1–12. A personal interview with the prospective student is required as part of the process. The school reserves the right to obtain a behavior and academic report from the previous school on a confidential basis.
Step 3 — Download and complete required forms: Download the IPS Application Form and the IPS MOE Form, then complete them as instructed. These forms are the primary documents used to initiate the registration and to provide formal information about the student and the family. After filling them out, you should upload the soft copies to the designated submission area.
Step 4 — Online submission of documents: Upload the soft copies of the filled forms through the school's submission interface. Ensure all attachments are legible and clearly labeled. This step consolidates the application materials for the admissions review.
Step 5 — Assessments and interview: For Nursery, KG-1, and KG-2, assessments are conducted to evaluate the student's readiness. For Grades 1–12, written entrance tests are used. A personal interview with the student is also part of the assessment process. The outcomes of these assessments, along with the previous school reports, inform the admission decision.
Step 6 — Admission decision and next steps: Families will be notified as soon as possible of the admission decision. If a place is offered, the registration process may proceed after notification, subject to the school's formal agreement with the family. Parents must sign the school's rules and regulations as part of registering the child.
