GES Admission Requirements & Process

Admission to The Gulf English School is based upon entrance tests/interviews, previous school records, the student’s application. New students will be admitted according to Board policy.

Physical Disability

The Gulf English School facilities cannot meet the needs of those who have serious physical disabilities.

Students with Special Needs

The Gulf English School believes that all students should be able to follow our mainstream program. Students demonstrating low achievement or extreme difficulty with mainstream work will be referred to the Student Support Team for evaluation. After an assessment has been completed the Student Support Team will make recommendations, in the best interest of the student, to the Head of School; who will consult with the parents concerning the recommendations of the Student Support Team. Academic probation procedures will also be followed.

Parents must provide all documentation concerning previous assessment, or any past history of learning difficulties, with their admissions application. Failure to disclose such information may result in a student being asked to withdraw from school. Should it be found that the Student Support Team recommends that a student be evaluated for either intelligence or learning difficulties, the parents are obliged to have the evaluation completed in a timely manner, and advice will be given on whom to contact for these evaluations. Financial responsibility for these tests will lie with the parents. Failure to do so could also result in the student being asked to withdraw from The Gulf English School.

Priority for Pre-school
