Admissions are online; start with ENROL ONLINE to submit the online Student Enquiry & Registration and receive an online reference number and next steps. The school teaches in English and follows the British Curriculum for ages 3 to 18 (FS1 to Year 13), and it is inclusive, supporting a range of learning needs including SEND and English Language Learners with adjustments as required. A 525 AED application fee (including VAT) applies; it is refundable if no place is offered, non-refundable if a place is offered but not taken, and not deductible from tuition. The process proceeds through Registration (10% deposit due on enrollment), Assessment (FS1/FS2 observation; Year 1–Year 13 assessments), and Enrolment (offers issued; tuition payable in three terms); if a seat is not available, the application is placed on a waitlist until a seat becomes available; if you withdraw from the waiting list, the 500 AED plus VAT application fee can be refunded.

Seats are allocated subject to availability; if no seat is available after assessment, the child is placed on a waitlist until a seat becomes available. If withdrawing from the waiting list, the application fee (500 AED plus VAT) can be refunded.
