Dhahran - School Report Question and Answers

Are the admissions and placement procedures clearly stated to prospective families, either on the school website or through other means of communication?

No. In our experience, admissions was, and continues to be, a disaster. The requirements are obscure and since everyone at the school disappears for the entire summer, no one responds to questions as you start to get closer to your arrival. - Oct 2023


Yes. Admissions is all done online through a portal, and requires scanning and uploading documents. Assessments are required once you are in-kingdom, in order to guarantee a spot. The school generally does not accept those needing exceptional learning support such as speech therapy or intensive behavior support. Admissions are very competitive. There is placement priority granted to children of the US Consulate community, as long as they don't require learning support or behavioral support/therapy. - Dec 2019
