At ADNOC Schools, we are committed to delivering an inclusive education that ensures the success and development of every student. Our dedicated Special Education Needs (SEN) department provides comprehensive support for students of determination through high-quality teaching, both push-in and pull-out services, and assistance from trained inclusion support staff. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) are carefully developed by our qualified team to meet each student’s unique needs. For more information about the SEN department, please click the link here.

Note: An extra 50% of the school fee will be added to students receiving Special Education Services. Parents will be required to sign the Tuition Fee No Objection letter upon admission and/or diagnosis. This additional fee will not apply to the students whose families provide a shadow teacher.

The Admissions Team is available to provide updates on your child’s application at any time. However, you will only be contacted if and when a seat becomes available. The waiting list remains active until the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) closes the school transfer screen within the region.

In some cases, parents may be asked to sign an undertaking in advance, allowing the enrollment process to begin early. Once a seat becomes available, payment may be requested at that time to help expedite the process and avoid delays.

We do not assign specific numbers on the waiting list. Priority is given to siblings of current students and children of ADNOC employees, with all other applications considered afterward.
