MYP Admissions


MYP Admissions

As an IB-accredited school, Notion International School meets the standards of the Ministry of Education and the IB organization.

Our school embraces diversity and inclusivity in our student body. You can find our policy on this matter here. We also value the collaboration between parents and students in achieving our school’s goals and vision.


Decision Making Process

The Admissions committee members individually assess the application files and meet to resolve any concerns if necessary.

The parents will receive the decision within a week of its finalization.

The Admission Committee decides whether to admit the student to the IB Programme after a rigorous review of the student’s records, in accordance with the school’s policies.


Procedure

  • To apply for admission, parents or legal guardians of the student must complete the online application form on our website. You can find it here.
  •  The student will then take entrance exams in Mathematics, Arabic and English Language. 
  • The student must also submit report cards from previous schools. The student will have an interview with the MYP coordinator/Head of Secondary. 
  • If the student is transferring from another IB school, they must meet the following entry requirements:
    • For grade 10 (MYP5), a score of at least 5 for each Higher Level subject
    • For grade 10 (MYP5), a score of at least 4 for each Standard Level subject
    • The student must fulfill the MYP5 requirements for Service as Action and Personal Project.


Entrance Exam

  • The exam is designed to evaluate the overall knowledge and thinking approaches. The minimum score for each exam (Math, English and Arabic) is 70%.
  • The application will not be processed any further if the candidate failed to score the minimum grade.


Terms of Payment
