Admissions for KG1
Hello Sir, my son will be 4 years as on 55th August 2016. I would like to seek indian curriculum school admission for him in Abu Dhabi. Kindly advise if he is eligible for KG1 admission in Abu Dhabi schools for the academic year 2016-2017. Also would like to know the age limitation followed in other emirates like Dubai & Sharjah. Thanks, Imran
Dear Imran,
All schools should now follow a unified admission requirement across the Emirates. The rule states that the child must be 4 on or before 31st July to enter KG1 in the Indian system. Since your son will not be 4 on that date, strictly speaking he may need to wait a further year. We are aware that a circular from the Ministry of Education suggests that there may be an extension to this date to allow younger children to be accepted, but this applies only to the current school year to our knowledge. Our advice would be that you contact the schools to which you wish to apply for their feedback.
