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. Fill Online Application. Admission is conducted exclusively through an online application system. Before applying, gather essential documents: a copy of the student's passport and Qatar ID; a recent passport-size photo; copies of the father's and mother's passports; and the latest school report. After submission, the child's name is added to the waiting list and an acknowledgment email is sent. 2. Waiting List Placement. The waiting list is established after the application is received, and families receive an acknowledgment email. If a vacancy arises, the admissions office schedules assessment dates for applicants, prioritizing those on the waiting list; results are emailed to parents about a week after assessments. 3. Assessment. Assessments are age-specific: KG1 and KG2 are observed for school readiness through practical play and must be toilet trained. Year 1 and Year 2 assess basic writing, phonics, and number work. Year 3 to Year 10 assessments cover English and Mathematics on an online platform, either online or on-site. Entry to Year 11 may involve interviews and evaluation of Year 10 reports; entry to Year 12 requires a minimum C in five IGCSE subjects; entry to Year 13 requires at least three AS Level grades A–E with spaces limited; the Cambridge International Curriculum is delivered across all EMS campuses from KG1 to Year 13. 4. Acceptance and Registration. Once accepted, enrollment proceeds through online registration. Final enrollment is confirmed upon receipt of the registration fee, the applicable school fees, and all required documentation. A confirmation email is issued with next steps and deadlines. If documents are missing, the admissions team will contact the family to complete the file. 5. Priority Placement. Vacancies are filled on a first-come, first-served basis with explicit priorities: children of EMS staff members; siblings of current EMS students; EMS Alumni's children; students from other EMS campuses; and all other students meeting admission requirements. 6. Withdrawal Procedure. To withdraw, submit the withdrawal form by email or in person at least four weeks before the start of the term. Ensure all outstanding school fees are settled and return school‑issued Chromebooks and library books. Transcripts are issued only after clearance from EMS Finance, Library, and IT. For transfers within Qatar a vacancy letter from the receiving school is required to facilitate the NSIS transfer; leaving Qatar may require transcripts to be attested.
