Admissions

Admissions
1. School Tour. Families are encouraged to visit the school for a tour of the campus and to speak with admissions staff. Appointments can be made through the school administration. A virtual tour is available if needed. 2. Application and Required Documents. Parents may apply online by filling in the Application Form or obtain the application pack at the reception desk and apply in person. Required documents include three recent passport-sized photos of the applicant, latest school reports, copies of the applicant's passport and both parents' passports, birth certificate, vaccination card, health evaluation certificate, Hamad Health Card, and copies of Qatar IDs for the applicant and parents, plus an employment certificate and a signed Guarantee Form. After the application is submitted, the admissions office schedules a school presentation for applicants and parents. There is no application deadline; applications are accepted based on spaces available throughout the school year. 3. Admission Decisions. Admissions decisions are made after careful evaluation of candidates, including results of diagnostic testing and previous school records. Additional criteria include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the ability of ISC-Doha to accommodate the candidate's needs. A final admission decision cannot be made without the required documentation, and once accepted and the fees are paid, a place is reserved. 4. Admissions Policy and Placement. ISC-Doha operates a non-selective admission policy; acceptance is based on academic attainment rather than age (with age acting as a limiting factor) and there can be up to a two-year age range within a class. There are no academic requirements for Levels A, B and C (three to five and a half years of age); these students are interviewed and must be toilet-trained and able to follow simple instructions. All other prospective students take diagnostic tests in core subjects to determine placement; the school may employ strategies such as summer school or extra lessons, and provides special academic support when needed. Appointments for diagnostic testing can be arranged through the admissions office.
