Applying to KIES
KIES is a school that has high academic expectations and students must be able to cope with the demands of the education that are placed upon them. Students are tested before they enter the school. The entrance test is used to assess whether a student is suitable to enter the school. The mainstream school does not provide support necessary for student with severe learning difficulties.
Procedure
On arrival, a copy of all required paperwork and the student’s previous school report is requested.
If required a brief interview may be held with the parents of a new student.
The student may also be interviewed by the school counsellor, if required.
The assessment consist of a Registration test where the student’s academic level and suitability are assessed.
It is the Head of Department’s decision as to whether a student is accepted or not. No student will be allowed admission to KIES unless they meet the entry requirements.
Any serious discipline concerns are grounds for non-acceptance.
If a student has passed the assessment test they go along with all paperwork and forms to the school accounts department, where a KD100 deposit is paid to complete the registration process. It is not possible to register a student without all the necessary paperwork. This must be brought into school at the time of the interview.
