Admission Documents and Forms
It is a legal requirement in the United Arab Emirates that all children are registered with the Knowledge and Human Authority Department (KHDA). The School will conduct this on your behalf provided that the relevant documents are presented prior to your child starting school at South View.
Please Note: It is the responsibility of the parents to obtain all required attestations. Please make sure you seek this information yourself as changes are made periodically and without notice. We kindly request that you give the School at least two weeks’ notice, in writing, to prepare all your leaving documents; we cannot otherwise guarantee that the paperwork will be ready for your collection.
