Admissions in United Arab Emirates typically open between September and February for the following academic year, though IB and IGCSE schools often run rolling intakes. Each school profile lists the application window, age cut-off, registration fee and the documents required for entrance.

When comparing schools, weigh the board's exit-exam fit for your child, the student-teacher ratio, transport coverage to your locality, and the fee escalation policy. Reviews from parents on each profile surface day-to-day realities — homework load, communication quality and extracurricular depth — that brochures rarely capture.
