Dunecrest American School offers education from Pre-KG to Grade 12 with a standards-based US curriculum and IB Diploma options in Grades 11 and 12. The admissions process starts with an online application (Apply Now) that takes about 2–3 minutes to complete. After submission, the admissions team aims to respond within 48 hours for completed applications. Applicants upload documents listed in the Documents Checklist, including the student's passport, report cards from the previous three years in English, and any available recent standardized test scores (MAP or CAT4). Upon acceptance, additional documents are required: birth certificate; parents' passports; student and parents' photos; the final report card; and UAE residency documents (Residence Visa and Emirates ID) for residents; if visa documents are not yet available, they may be submitted later but before the start of the school year. Admissions decisions are final and consider the student's ability to succeed in the programs, as well as social, emotional, and educational needs.
