Al Fanar School Admissions Process
Enquiry

Your journey begins by getting in touch with us. This may be through a phone call, email, or in person. Once we receive your enquiry, we will share key information about the school, including our curriculum, fees, and approach. You will also receive an enquiry number for reference. From here, we invite you to take the next step and book a tour.
Application
To move forward, families are asked to pay an AED 500 application fee and fill an application form. This allows us to formally begin reviewing your child’s application and ensures a fair and organised process for all families. The fee is refundable if you choose not to proceed after the tour or if we are unable to offer a place. It can also be transferred to the next academic year if needed. Once both the fee and the form are completed, your child officially moves into our admissions process.
Tour
Our school tours give you the opportunity to experience Al Fanar in action. You will explore our learning environments, understand our approach, and ask any questions you may have. Tours are an important part of the process, helping families decide if our school is the right fit. This is the first step in moving forward with your admission.
Stay & Play
When spaces become available, children are invited to a Stay & Play session. This is a relaxed, play- based experience where we get to know your child in a natural setting. There are no formal tests— this is simply an opportunity to understand how your child engages, interacts, and feels within our environment.
Offer
If a place becomes available and we are able to proceed, you will receive an official offer. To secure the place, a deposit is required within a set timeframe. At this stage, we begin preparing for your child’s transition into Al Fanar, and we look forward to welcoming your family into our community.
