KHDA

For registering your child we will need a copy of their Emirates ID and one parent’s Emirates ID with the parent’s email and UAE phone number to register the student’s details with KHDA. Please note that the Transfer certificate will also be required. Please send these to our Registrar, Amal Tolba – arabicao@jebelalischool.org.
