Fees, dates and entry requirements

Entry requirements

  • Tell the school your child's current grade and previous schooling so that you can discuss the next steps.

Required documents

Request the document checklist for the grade you are interested in before preparing your application.

  • Confirm which school records and identification documents are required for the application.
  • Do not include your child's identity documents or medical information in an initial enquiry. Ask the school how to submit application documents.

Call or email admissions for current fees, dates and entry requirements. Your child's grade and individual circumstances can be discussed directly.

Visiting

Preparing for your visit

A visit lets you see the school and ask your questions in person. These suggestions may help:

  • Write down your questions before you come — for example about grades, subjects, the language of instruction and fees.
  • If you have them, bring your child's most recent school reports so that grade placement can be discussed.
  • Ask about the next steps in the application and which documents will be needed.
  • If possible, bring your child so that they can see the school too.

Families abroad

Moving from abroad?

If your family is moving to Mogadishu from abroad, planning ahead makes your child's move easier.

  • Contact the admissions office before you travel — you can use email or telephone from anywhere.
  • Prepare your child's school reports and certificates. If they are in a language other than English or Somali, ask whether a translation is needed.
  • School years differ between countries. Ask how your child's grade placement will be decided.
  • Ask about term dates so that you can plan when to arrive.
