BBS's admissions procedures ensure we only admit students to whom we can provide an education.
Students entering BBS must have sufficient skills in English and Arabic in order to meet the instructional demands of the grade level in which they apply. This is due to the fact that the school does not offer Arabic as a Second Language or English as a Second Language. In addition, they need to demonstrate the potential to contribute positively to our academic and social environment.
Academic and social development are important considerations for enrollment. Within these general criteria, priority for available vacancies is given to siblings of current students, children of alumni, staff members’ children and then to children of new families.
In line with Al-Bayan’s nondiscriminatory policy, admissions is conditional upon successful Entrance Evaluation results and the availability of places; regardless of gender, nationality, religion, or race.
When the capacity of each class is reached, students meeting the acceptance criteria, but not admitted, will be placed on a waiting list in case an opening occurs. The relevant family will then be contacted.
Applications to be considered for the following school year must be resubmitted during the next registration period in order for the student to be re-evaluated.
