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 – Applying online. TCSI welcomes applications throughout the year, but seat availability is limited. Check the correct year group for your child based on their date of birth, and familiarise yourself with the relevant fees. After completing the online application form, you will receive an email with further instructions, and you must pay a non-refundable registration fee of AED 500 before the admission test or interview.
Step 2 – Finalising the application. After submitting the online application and payment, the date and time of the assessment will be communicated via email or SMS. All required documents can be uploaded in reply to the email. You must pay the AED 500 registration fee before the admission test/interview. The admission test or interview will be scheduled based on space availability.
Step 3 – Securing a Place. If a place is offered, you will receive a formal offer email valid for 1 week from receipt. If no places are available at the time, you will be placed on a waiting list and notified when a space becomes available. To secure the seat, pay the non-refundable admission fee of AED 1,000. Admission is subject to KHDA approval.
Step 4 – Documents and assessments. The required documents include copies of the student and parents' passports, residence visas, Emirates IDs, birth certificate, vaccination card, recent school reports, and transfer certificate. For overseas transfers, the original school leaving certificate should be attested by the relevant authorities; attestation is not required for the UK, US, Canada, Australia, or Europe. Assessments vary by age: FS1/FS2 use informal observations; Years 1-2 use a written assessment; Years 3-10 use a written admission test; Years 11-13 use prior results, an admission test, and an interview.
Admissions depend on vacancies and use a waiting list. Siblings have preference on the waiting list. The child's name is placed on the waiting list upon payment of a non-refundable registration fee of AED 500. If a space becomes available, offers are made based on space and KHDA approval, and the applicant's position on the list.
