The British School welcomes applications from pupils of all nationalities who would benefit from our educational programme and whose parents share the school's Philosophy and Aims. Applications for both immediate and future entry are considered at any time throughout the year. In all cases an application form must be completed and submitted before further action can be taken.

Children must turn 2 years old until Match 31st of the year of entry to the Pre-Nursery.

Priority admissions are given to British and Commonwealth citizens, siblings of pupils already on roll, returning families and the children of former British School students. However, the acceptance of a pupil is never automatic; each child must fulfil the entry criteria in his or her own right.

While students of a relatively wide range of ability will be considered, acceptance will depend on the school's estimation about the individual's ability to benefit from an academically demanding bilingual education. All applicants must show the potential to be able to (have the ability to) work in English and, in the Upper Primary and Senior Schools, possession of a good standard of English is important (essential).

It is desirable that the children are exposed to the English language outside the school. It is highly desirable that at least one parent or guardian is fluent in English.

The school cannot cater for pupils with severe physical or mental disabilities or serious learning difficulties. A child with minor learning difficulties may be considered if it is believed that the School can meet his/her particular needs.
