Waiting List Definitions:
Open – We are accepting applications into the waiting list and anticipate making admission offers, however, we cannot guarantee place availability to all who apply as spaces are limited. Waiting lists are maintained for all year groups and applicants may be waitlisted after assessment, depending on availability.
Waiting List Open – Applications are accepted into the waiting list on the caveat that all year group places have been offered, and we do not have spaces to offer today. Children will be invited for assessment and places offered from the waiting list if they become available.
Closed – Waiting lists are kept open until the cap is reached, at which time they are closed and no further applications are accepted. Note, we will accept applications from JAS staff, siblings and former students even if closed.
Waitlist Priority of Applications:
- We give priority to applicants who:
- Are children of a member of our school staff or Board
- Have a sibling at Jebel Ali School

AGE EGIBILITY
We are a British Curriculum school that follows a 13-year system, welcoming children from age three, provided they are toilet trained. Admission is determined by the child's age as of 1 September, following KHDA guidelines to place them in the appropriate year group. For students transferring from another Dubai school, placement is based on the KHDA Transfer Certificate, and final year group decisions are subject to review by our Academic Team.
