Parents must complete the school online application to start the application process. A list of supporting documents should be included upon submitting the application. A non-refundable, AED 500/- is required as an advance administration fee in order for the application to be submitted and considered.

Within 72 hours of submitting the online application(s), you will receive a reference number. Thereafter contact the Admissions office to confirm the completion of the application process. If you are applying for a place in a year group that is already full, you will be contacted by the school as soon as they receive notice of withdrawal.

Interviews or assessments are scheduled once the school receives the completed application. Completion of assessment does not guarantee a place at EIS-M. Priority will be given to siblings, then general applicants. Places will be offered only if the assessment is successful and as seats become available.

For entry into Early Years, the student will be assessed by a member of the Early Years Team. For entry into Years 1 – 6, all students, upon application, will be required to complete an entrance assessment in Mathematics and English. For Years 1 – 3, this is teacher led. For Years 4 – 6, the student is alone but supervised.

High School Students upon application will be required to complete an entrance assessment in Mathematics and English. Both Primary and High School assessments are evaluated internally by the Academic staff and are measured against IB criteria. The Principal of the School reviews the student’s complete application pack, inclusive of entrance assessment, previous reports, compatibility to IB program of study, previous school’s curriculum, and if necessary parental/student interview to ascertain acceptability and appropriate year level. The school will review your child’s Academic history in terms of adaptability to IB and make recommendations on the compatibility of courses. Upon approval, the student’s completed application pack is forwarded to the KHDA for final approval.

The entry to the IBDP is based on two components: The school reports and the attainment of the applicant in the student’s previous school with the curriculum benchmarked against the MYP outcomes and an interview with the DP Coordinator and/or the Head of Year 12 & 13. This is to determine the educational pathway of the applicant and capability to access the Diploma or Courses program as provided at EIS Meadows.

Following successful completion of the assessment and confirmation of seat availability, the admissions office will formally offer a place at the school. Parents will be given 7 working days to make the payment. Failing to do so, the offer will be withdrawn.
