Requirements and Eligibility

Admission Guidlines

In all cases, admission procedures laid down by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) have to be adhered to. Admission guidelines are as per current regulations (applicable for academic year) and are subject to change.

Please note the following carefully:

• A student is eligible for KG1 if she completes four years of age before the 31st of March of the year in which she has been admitted.
• A student is eligible for KG 2 if she completes five years of age before the 31st of March of the year in which she has been admitted.
• A student is eligible for Grade1 if she has completed six years of age and does not exceed the age of eight by the 31st of March of the year in which she has been admitted. (2 years’ age bracket is implied for all Grades).
• For KG1/KG2 & Grade1 student already studying in Sharjah or any other Emirate, revised age regulations do not apply, but a Passed & Promoted result and duly attested TC is required from other emirates (within Sharjah attestation is not required).
• Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) has approved admissions of underage applicants in KG1 if they are currently enrolled in Pre-KG ( regular schools not nurseries).
