PYP Admissions

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.

• Arrange for the student to take the entrance exam in English, Math, and Arabic. The exam results must meet the standards set by the Admissions Committee.
• Submit an academic recommendation form and a behavioral letter.

Entrance Exam

Candidates must demonstrate their knowledge and thinking abilities on the exam.

Terms of Payment

Once the school has sent acceptance letters to applicants, they have 2 business days to confirm the school offer and 5 business days to confirm their place in school by paying the requested fees. In case of delay, the place would be offered to the next student on the school list. Students' place is not guaranteed until payment is complete. Without exception, students will not be able to start their academic year until tuition fees have been paid in full according to the payment terms.

All fees are to be paid in Egyptian pounds, include applicable taxes and are bonded with the Ministry of Education of the Egyptian Government. The bonding arrangement ensures that all fees paid to the school are insured against liabilities.
