Frequently Asked Questions

  • Admissions Policy

    Admissions Policy

    Vision International School (VIS) welcomes applications from students of all races, nationalities, religions, and genders, provided they meet the admissions requirements outlined in our policy. Applications are accepted year-round, and students are admitted based on eligibility and seat availability. Admissions assessments are scheduled in accordance with timelines set by the Ministry of Education.
    Please note: Submitting a completed application form does not guarantee admission to VIS. Admission is contingent upon meeting all stated requirements and the availability of space. Applications are only considered complete—and dated as received—once all required supporting documents have been submitted.
    For full details, please refer to our Admissions Application Form.

  • Stationery List
    Annual stationery fees are charged at 1,000 QAR per student per year.  These fees are optional but the supplies are required for each student.  Parents can opt to pay the stationery fee or commit to providing every item listed on the required stationery list prior to the start of the third week of the school year. Please refer to the VIS Stationery List for the required items.
  • Uniform
    Details of the VIS uniform are outlined here. Students are not required to purchase their uniform from the suggested supplier, and parents may source the uniforms elsewhere if they wish, however they must adhere to the school’s colors and uniform guidelines.
  • Waiting List
    If the desired grade is full, but your child has qualified for admission at VIS, then we may offer a place on our Waiting List, after parents sign the Waiting List Acknowledgement Form. When an opening occurs, such as when an enrolled child withdraws from the school, the Admissions Team will review all applicants on the waiting list for that grade and select the student with the needs of the existing class in mind. The selected student will then be offered admission. Priority will be given to applicants who have siblings currently enrolled at VIS, thereafter students are placed according to academic and admissions priorities and requirements.
  • Withdrawal from VIS
    We are sorry to know that you are considering withdrawing from VIS. We would like the opportunity to discuss this with you further. Please contact the Admissions team. There is a process we need to follow in the case of you withdrawing a student, including the completion of a withdrawal form and settlement of any outstanding fees before we can transfer your child to another school within the MoE system. Please contact us to make these required arrangements.
