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: Book a personalised school tour to determine if AIS Dubai is the right fit for your family. Tours are conducted by appointment, and online meetings can be arranged if you are not in Dubai. Tours are often booked up to 4 weeks in advance, so scheduling early is advised. The tour provides an opportunity to explore facilities and understand the curriculum.
Step 2: Application Submission. A school tour is not required to submit an application. Complete the application form in full, submit the required documentation, and pay a 500 AED application fee. A Transfer Certificate is required in certain situations, and registration with KHDA is part of the process if applicable. Please also review any specific endorsement requirements if transferring from outside Dubai.
Step 3: Enrolment Questionnaire and Interview Booking. After the above is complete, arrange an interview with the Heads of School. The Enrolments Team will contact you by email to invite you to book the interview appointment once the steps are in place.
Step 4: Enrolment Interview. The interview is with the Head of School, offering an opportunity to learn about the school and for the family to share educational background and goals. Both the parent and the enrolling student are required to attend the interview.
Step 5: Acceptance. The Head of School decides the outcome of the enrolment application, and parents are notified by email if successful. If accepted, the non-refundable Enrolment Deposit and the completed Enrolment Agreement are due within one week to secure enrolment.
Step 6: KHDA Registration. Upon confirmed payment of the enrolment deposit, registration with KHDA begins and the KHDA Parent Contract must be signed before the child begins studying. If the Transfer Certificate has not been submitted, the Enrolments team will request it during registration.
Step 7: Enrolment Orientation. After KHDA registration, you will be invited to an Enrolment Orientation to purchase uniforms, meet clinic staff, review policies, and discuss drop-off/pick-up procedures. This completes the enrolment process and welcomes your child to AIS Dubai. AIS Dubai is located at Al Barsha 3, Dubai. 971 4 258 2222.
