Parents Guide 

All members of the administration team are available during school opening hours and are happy to deal with any queries or concerns you may have regarding any part of the administrative process.

A visit to the school is an obvious starting point to the entry procedure, however, we understand that for some people this may not be practical. Admission procedures may be described in three stages as set out below.

Currently all UAE residents (applications) must provide National ID Cards.  For more information please contact the school.

STAGE 1 - INITIAL CONTACT

If you are in the UAE you will be invited to a tour of the school, which will include:

• A general tour of the whole site

• A particular look at the area of the school relevant to your child/children

We will explain to you:

• The formal admission procedures

• All payments due, stating refund and notice requirements

• Whether or not there is a waiting list at your child's level

We will expect to answer your queries on these or other matters and clear guidance is given in the documentation. You will be introduced to the Head, or another member of Senior Management, though this may not always be possible on your initial visit.

Where there is a waiting list it is important to note that the school Registrar can indicate to you when a place may become available but this information is advisory only and may change according to circumstances.

For administrative and safety reasons, it is important that these documents and information be obtained prior to your child commencing at Al Ain English Speaking School. Please would you kindly ensure that you have these requirements when bringing your child for enrolment.
