| 1 | Online registration through www.bfis.qa. |
| 2 | The Examination Cell schedules the admission test according to the child’s age and last class attended. |
| 3 | The assessment and interview take place (see criteria below). Results are shared by email. |
| 4 | Successful applicants receive an admission offer and submit the required documents and fees. |
