Considerations

The school makes every effort to accept qualified students. This decision is subject to the academic entrance requirements, as well as enrollment and class size limitations determined by the school. The school reserves the right to limit student enrollment and reject an application if it does not align with school Admissions policy. ll young learners attending AIS must be fully toilet trained. In our efforts to uphold our child protection policies and to keep our learning environment clean and healthy, independent toilet training is a “non-negotiable” policy for all KG students. Passing AIS entrance exam does not guarantee a seat for new applicants. The entire registration process must be completed and the administrative application processing fee should be paid to ensure the acceptance and to reserve the seat (kindly check AIS fees structure and important dates that should be met once your children is/are accepted). Once the admission application process is entirely completed and the administrative application processing fee has been submitted, the applicant is accepted to AIS.
