Applying to ABA

We make a point of getting to know our students well - their interests, aspirations, and areas for growth - both in and outside of the classroom as the more we know, the more we can support your journey at ABA.   Complete our 'Enrollment Form' to provide us with more detailed information.

ABA offers rolling admissions meaning that if we have space, we are happy to consider your application now or as soon as you are ready - so apply early to get a priority answer about next year. With an early decision commitment, you will know your spot is reserved, and you can relax and begin to plan your journey as a Viper!

Students applying for Kindergarten 1- Grade 5 may be invited to visit a classroom as part of the admissions process.

Students applying for Grades 3-12 will be scheduled a placement screener at the appropriate time to provide the school with baseline skills equivalent in language and mathematics.

ABA accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year, subject to availability of spaces.  There is no set application deadline but we do have waitlists for our classes and the earlier you can apply, the better.

Class sizes can vary from year to year.  We use the following guide for class assignments.

16 students for Kindergarten 1 - this class also has a full-time teacher assistant

20 students for Kindergarten 2 and Kindergarten 3 - these classes also have a full-time teacher assistant

22 students from Grades 1 to 10 - Grades 1 to 3 have full or part-time teacher assistants

18 students per subject class for Grades 11 and 12.

Students are responsible for being neat, clean and dressed appropriately for serious study.  Students are expected to take responsibility for their attire based on these codes and come to school dressed in an appropriate manner with a well-groomed appearance. In respect of our host culture, all clothing should be loose-fitting and plain (i.e. no embroidery, large logos, excessive rivets, large/numerous pockets, etc.) 

ABA does not offer bussing. However, parents may wish to use the services of Abdullah Bin Salim Enterprises,  a company also utilised by ABA for field trip transportation. The company currently services Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos, Sultan Qaboos University, Shatti Al Qurum and Al Mouj.
