What is the admission process for an online school?

The admission process for an online school is straightforward and fully digital. At Digital International School (DIS), you can complete every step from home.

DIS follows the British curriculum. We offer Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programmes, plus Primary and Lower Secondary. Whether you're exploring homeschooling or switching from a traditional school, the steps are the same.

Here is how the admission process works at DIS:

• Submit an online enquiry through the website
• Attend a free welcome consultation
• Choose your subjects and programme level
• Receive your enrolment confirmation
• Access the student platform and start classes

There are no entrance exams. DIS doesn't require standardised test scores to enrol. Your child's previous school reports help us recommend the right programme level.

The welcome consultation is a short call with our admissions team. They'll review your child's academic background and answer your questions. This helps match your child to the correct year group and subjects.

Once you confirm your subject choices, the team sends a simple enrolment form. You'll also receive details about fees. IGCSE starts from AED 500 per month for all subjects. A-Level starts from AED 800 per month.

After enrolment, your child gets immediate access to the DIS platform. They can view their live lesson schedule, message instructors, and explore the resource library straight away.

Rolling admissions mean your child doesn't have to wait for September. Families join throughout the year. This is especially helpful for those transitioning to homeschooling mid-term or relocating across the GCC.

All lessons are live and taught by qualified, GCC-based instructors. Over 100 postgraduate-qualified teachers deliver lessons in real time. Your child won't watch recordings — they'll learn with a real teacher and real classmates.

The entire process — from first enquiry to first lesson — typically takes just a few days. No paperwork delays. No waiting lists.
