Admission to the school is by entrance assessment for Year 7, 8, 9 and 10. The entrance assessment for Year 7 is usually held in January. For applicants from schools in the Emirates, the entrance assessment will be held at Dubai College on a date to be advised.
For overseas applicants, assessment papers will be sent to their present school, who will administer them on our behalf and return them to us.
The receipt of an application form by the College containing the name, address and e-mail of the current school is taken as parental approval for the dispatch of assessment papers.
