Year group equivalency

The correct grade for students is identified through consultation with the Admissions team.

It is our intention to always place students in the grade most appropriate for them to thrive both academically and socially in their new environment. During this phase the following will be taken into account:

1. Previous schooling to date and student’s previous school reports
2. Assessment test results (and interview if applicable)
3. Age of student
4. Information provided on the student’s Transfer Certificate
5. Ministry of Education – UAE/KHDA requirements

Schools around the world use different numbering conventions . US system schools usually use a 12 year numbering format, while British system schools use a 13 year numbering format.

In the UAE there are many schools offering different curricula and following different numbering conventions. Below is a table indicating CIS numbering convention and how this equates to the 13 year system. Age is determined as of 31st of August of the admission year.
