Admissions Process

 

We believe that the admissions journey should be as smooth and welcoming as the educational experience we offer.
Our step-by-step process is designed to guide families with ease, ensuring that every student begins their learning journey on a strong foundation.

1. Fill Out the Interest Form

Begin by submitting a simple interest form to let us know you’re considering GISS for your child.

2. Book and Assessment

One of our admissions team will contact you to schedule an assessment for your child.

3. Attend the Assessment and Family Interview

Your child will take part in an age-appropriate assessment, and we’ll invite you for a family interview to get to know you better.
This helps us ensure GISS is the right fit for your child’s educational journey.

4. Receive a Decision Within 72 Hours

Families will receive feedback and admission decisions within 72 hours of the assessment and interview.

5. Accept the Enrollment Offer

If your child is accepted, you will receive an official enrollment offer. Accepting it is the next step toward joining the GISS community.

6. Secure Your Child’s Place

To confirm enrollment, the first school payment must be made within a week from the assessment day.
We look forward to guiding you every step of the way as you join a school that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence by the Red Sea.
