Residential Admissions
Residential admissions: a decision that deserves its own process
Choosing residential education is not choosing a school bag. We treat it with the seriousness it carries.
How it works
Step details and dates for the current cycle are confirmed by the residential admissions team.
Talk to us first
A real conversation about your child, your family's situation and whether the programme fits — on WhatsApp, by phone, or in person.
See the programme
Visit the campus, or take a scheduled video walkthrough if you are abroad — dormitories, dining, study spaces, and the people.
Application and interaction
A straightforward application, records from the current school, and an interaction with your child.
A clear decision
A stated decision path with no ambiguity about what happens next, including travel and joining arrangements.
Residential admission questions
From which grade does boarding start?
The Residential Programme serves Grades 8 to 12.
Is the programme for boys and girls?
EKIS is a co-educational institution. How the wings are arranged is confirmed with families at admission.
Can a child join mid-year, for example when returning from the Gulf?
Mid-year situations are exactly when families need the most clarity. Talk to us — we will tell you honestly what is possible for your child's grade and timing. The formal policy is confirmed by the admissions team.
