Admissions

Admissions

1. Inquiries and campus visit. Families initiate contact with ABQ Seeb International School through WhatsApp for registration support, or by calling the admissions line at 98262599. The admissions team aims to guide you through a smooth enrollment process, and you can book a campus tour to see facilities and ask questions in person. This initial step sets expectations and provides the primary point of contact as you begin the process.

2. Age eligibility and grade placement. For the 2026/27 academic year, ABQ Seeb International School publishes specific age ranges that correspond to each class (e.g., Pre-KG, KG1, KG2, G1–G12). These age guidelines determine eligibility and placement into the appropriate grade level. Families should verify their child's age against the published table to confirm the correct entry point.

3. Documents and enrolment form. The enrolment process requires submission of a range of documents, including a utility bill as proof of address, signing the registration terms and conditions, and a School Fee Confirmation Form. You must also provide copies of the student's passport, the father's and mother's passports/IDs, and copies of valid visas for non-Omani students. Additional items include two passport photos, birth certificate, health card, MOH medical form for Grade 1, MOE transfer letter, and copies of academic reports for the last two years; embassy stamping may be required for overseas documents.

4. MOE transfer letters and embassy stamping. The Ministry of Education requires an MOE Portal Transfer Letter from the previous school for transfer of records. For non-Omani students (and overseas-studying Omani students), official documents should be stamped by the student's embassy and the Omani Foreign Affairs Ministry. This step ensures that prior records and eligibility are validated before enrollment.

5. Terms, fee confirmation, and provisional terms. You must sign the registration terms and conditions and provide the School Fee Confirmation Form. Proof of address and other MOE-related documentation may be requested during enrolment. The process emphasizes completing these formalities before moving to payment and final confirmation.

6. Tuition, fees, and payment options. The 2025-26 fee structure lists Tuition Fees by grade and a separate Resource Fee, with notes that additional charges may apply for learning support or international examination fees. Payment methods include full payment, two 50% instalments by post-dated cheques, or eight monthly post-dated cheques with a specified schedule (cheques should be dated by the 5th of the month). The cost of the uniform is not included, and extended care fees apply to ABQ Explorer students.

7. Enrollment confirmation and next steps. After registration, the admissions team guides families through the remaining steps to finalize enrollment. You should expect to receive guidance on any pending items and to complete the enrollment as part of a smooth process, leading to confirmation of the student's place.
