All required documents must be submitted along with the Admission Application Form, in order for an Entrance Exam and Personal Interview to be scheduled.

1. The Admissions Officer calls and sends a confirmation e-mail to the applicant’s parents with the date, time and related instructions (where to go upon arrival at NOS, whether the interview or exam will be held first, whether parents can accompany their children-based on grades, etc.).
2. On the day of the exam/interview:

Students of Grades (1-3) are accompanied with their parents to the Head of Stage. The interview and exam are conducted in the stage.

Students of Grade (4-12) usually sit for the Entrance Exam before the Personal Interview. After the entrance exam (which is held in one of the designated computer labs), all students sitting for the exam are accompanied back to the Admissions Office. Students who sit for the exam are then interviewed, usually on the same day. If for any reason the Head of Stage or her deputy is not available, an interview is rescheduled for another day. In certain cases, the entrance exam may be repeated if the Admissions Committee feels it is necessary.

What Does the Entrance Exam Include?

Entrance exams are given in core subjects, based on what students should have learned in previous years at school. They are meant to help assess a student’s academic abilities, level and needs. Students do not need to study for the Entrance Exam.

Note: Arabic Language Exams are not included for Non-Arabic speaking students applying for the international stream at any grade level.

1. Interviews with the applying students and their parents are conducted by an Interview Committee consisting of the Head of Stage or a deputy and the Stage Counsellor. In the case of IGCSE or IBDP, the IGSCE or IBDP Coordinator also attends.
    
2. Interviewer(s) use a special interview form to record notes.
    
3. The Interview Committee coordinates with the Learning Support & Special Educational Needs Centre for cases that need special evaluation. 
    
4. Further background checks may be conducted by contacting schools previously attended by the student.

The academic and behavioural performance of accepted students continues to be evaluated throughout their first year at NOS: once at the end of the 1st Semester (where evaluation results are shared and discussed with the parents), and again at the end of the school year, in order for a decision to be taken on whether or not to renew their registration. This process is carried out by an Internal Review Committee consisting of the School Principal, Head of Stage, Counsellor, and Discipline Supervisor.

Applications for Grades (1-8) are reviewed by an NOS Students Admissions Sub-committee consisting of the School Principal, Head of Stage, Head of Student Counseling/Stage Counsellor and the Admissions Officer. This Sub-committee also submits its recommendations to the OES Admissions Committee regarding students applying for Grades (9-12).

Applications of Grades (9-12), are reviewed by the OES Student Admissions Committee, consisting of OES Schools Committee representatives in addition to the NOS School Principal and Admissions Officer.

All applications reviewed and discussed by the Students Admission’s Committee, take into consideration the recommendations of the Heads of Stages, Admission’s Officer and others concerned, and according to the following criteria:

• Priority considerations for registration
• Academic evaluation (based on entrance exam result and report cards of the last three years)
• Student and parents personal interview results
• Proof of good conduct or recommendation letter
• Distinction in scientific, literary, artistic and/or athletic areas

The application review process usually takes 2-3 weeks from the date of completion of the Entrance Exam and Personal Interview (whichever comes last).

The Admissions Officer notifies the parents of the Admissions Committee decision by phone and e-mail.

Parents of students who are not accepted can submit an appeal addressed to the Student Admissions Committee through the Admissions Officer for reconsideration of the Application, if there are justifiable reasons to do so.

Students can also reapply the following year.

1. School Contract
