PHASE I- Enrollment Application Submission and Initial Review (SA)

Application Submission

For New and Returning Students

Complete and submit the online application form, ensuring that all required documents are uploaded.
An email confirmation will be sent once your application has been successfully submitted.

Initial Application Review

All applications are reviewed to verify completeness and eligibility.

If any documents are missing, follow-up communication will be sent requesting the required information.

Please make sure all details provided during registration are accurate and up to date, including:

Academic and character records
Current contact information and emergency phone numbers for both parents

PHASE II - Qualified Submitted Applications (QSA)

After the initial review, applicants who meet the eligibility criteria and have submitted complete applications will be designated as Qualified Submitted Applicants (QSA). These candidates will be invited to pay the non-refundable application fee of $199 to proceed to the next stage of the admissions process.

For incomplete applications, a letter requesting the missing documents will be sent to the respective family.

If no action is taken within one month of the submission date, the application will be deemed ineligible for consideration and marked as “Canceled.”

PHASE III - Assesments, Interviews, and Ranking on the Qualified Candidates List (QCL)

Exams and Interviews

All Qualified Submitted Applicants (QSA) who have paid the application fee and are applying to Pre-K/Petite Section, Kindergarten 1/Moyenne Section, or Kindergarten 2/Grande Section will participate in a qualifying interview as part of the admissions process.

Applicants for grade levels beyond preschool will be required to complete entrance exams and attend interviews appropriate to their grade level and program. Exam subjects may include French, English, Math, Arabic, and others, depending on the program selected.

Ranking on the Qualified Candidates List (QCL)

Candidates are evaluated and ranked based on a comprehensive review that includes:

Entrance exam performance
Interview results
Academic records
Submitted videos (if applicable)
School recommendations
Priority status
Assessment of relevant skills and competencies

This thorough evaluation process ensures alignment with grade-level expectations through a detailed rubric assessing all critical attributes.

Applicants who meet the criteria will be placed on the Qualified Candidates List (QCL) and ranked according to their overall evaluation, with priority given to those achieving the highest total scores.

PHASE IV - Final Selection of Candidates

The Admissions Committee makes final selection decisions based on the rankings established during Phase III of the process.

Applicants with the highest performance will be offered admission, subject to available vacancies. Candidates who achieve top results but for whom no vacancies are available will remain on the Qualified Candidates List (QCL) for the current academic year. If no openings arise, they might need to reapply and complete the full admissions process for the following year.

General Notes on the Admission Process

Admission is considered complete only once registration is finalized.
If guardians decide not to enroll their child at International College after acceptance, they must notify the Admissions Office and the relevant school in writing so the vacancy can be offered to another applicant.
International College will also send a digital form to the student’s previous school to request specific information about the accepted candidate, including a recommendation letter. Additional documents may be requested at any stage of the application process.
All documents requested during the application are required solely to complete the admissions process. Upon acceptance, families are responsible for submitting any additional official documents necessary to finalize registration with the Ministry of Education, particularly for students transferring from abroad.
Guardians are expected to follow up and ensure that all required documents are submitted to the school.
Throughout the entire process, families are guided step by step by the Admissions Team.
