How can I learn more about my children’s schools?

Families are encouraged to attend their schools’ back-to-school functions and to contact their schools’ office staff to arrange a time to visit.

My child doesn’t speak English, can I apply to Al Nahda National Schools

The primary language of instruction at ANNS is English. We will consider those students who are not proficient in English if we believe that, they will be able to develop proficiency in academic English sufficient to enter the school.

Students who require additional support will work with our English Language Specialists individually and in small groups until they are fully able to mainstream into the classroom. Normally, Grade 6 is the last year to which a beginner English Learner is admitted to the School.


It is not our policy to have a child repeat a grade because of their English level, as this will quickly improve and the child should be placed in the correct grade for social and emotional reasons as well as academic.

My child is on waiting list, when will I hear back?

If there are no available seats in the required class, the registration request will be placed on a waiting list. Please keep in mind that the waiting list has a maximum capacity, and if the school exceeds it, the registration request will be cancelled.


Priority will be given to students with siblings in school or whose parents are school employees.


The list is handled at the beginning of each term by the registration department.

Why do I need to re-register my children who have been in school for a long time?
  • 1. Re-registration is an important part of indicating students' readiness for the following year.
  • 2. Sections organization
I have been unable to re-register since the re-registration period has concluded. The re-registration displays have been closed. What is the solution for my son or daughter to register in the school next year?
  • The system will terminate the designated screens at the conclusion of the specified re-registration period, while the medical file and digital resources screens will remain operational. If you so desire, kindly take note of the following:
  • 1. Completion of tuition fees for the current year is a requirement.
  • 2. The medical file and digital resources have been finalized.

  • We trust that all parties will collaborate to finalize the re-registration process.
I accessed the system and found the medical file. What is it, and what should I do with it?
  • The Medical file is now part of the re-registration process, as instructed by the Department of Education and Knowledge. After checking the tuition fees, please ensure to fully complete the medical file in the system so that you can proceed with re-registration.
Is it possible for me to complete the application for medical files in the registration department?
  • The registration department cannot complete the application. Their staff will politely inform you that only the parent is authorized to finalize the file.
I have previously completed the application for medical file at school on numerous occasions; therefore, why am I required to do so again?
  • The data was previously in paper form; however, the Ministry of Health and the Department of Education and Knowledge have mandated that it be completed electronically, rather than in paper form. Therefore, we kindly request your assistance in finalizing the document, which should not exceed five minutes, as we have come to expect from you.
Can I complete the file before paying the tuition?
  • Yes, you can. The file is important and not linked to any payment. However, you won’t be able to access the re- registration screen if it’s not completed.
I already filled out the electronic medical file, but the system isn’t saving it.
  • The file has required fields that must be filled in. If any of them are left blank, the system won’t save your information.
I'm now at the second step of re-registration and need to request digital resources. Why do I need to complete this step?
  • The Curriculum Department has developed digital learning materials for the 2025–2026 school year. These materials are a key part of the school program. To make them available in your child’s account, parents must approve and pay for them.
  • If you don’t approve, it means you’re not agreeing to the curriculum, and you won’t be able to finish the re-registration.
  • The cost of these digital resources is already included in the tuition fee, and giving your approval is an important part of completing re-registration.
Upon opening the re-registration file, I observed that the data was not current. How can I ensure that it is up to date?
  • The Parent section of the application is where you can make the necessary updates.
I am inquiring about the possibility of displaying my son or daughter on social media. What is the significance of this?
  • Students are photographed to promote their school activities through school pages. Before the photo is published, we must obtain electronic approval. Your children will not be featured on our official pages if you decline.
I’m the legal guardian of my child, and the other parent is not allowed to be involved due to legal reasons. How do I inform the school?
  • You can update this on the student’s page. There’s a section asking about the guardian. If only you are legally authorized, you must upload the court order on your child’s profile.
  • If the other parent has passed away, please upload a copy of the death certificate.
I'm having trouble with the re-registration process; the request isn't being saved?
  • 1. The system requires certain information from the guardian, which is mandatory and necessary for the process to be completed. Without this information, the system cannot proceed.
  • 2. During the saving process, fields that are mandatory are emphasized and highlighted.
  • 3. If you input the required information, it will be saved, and the re-registration process will be completed.
