Language courses at Nord Anglia International School Dubai F.A.Q.

1. How can I send an inquiry? How are the groups formed?

The inquiries are mainly collected through Google form (you will get a link for the same). During the assessment period we are analysing the inquiries and form tentative groups considering the students’ age, level, program needed.

A group can start on getting at least 3-4 inquiries of matching age, level, program needed.

Once we receive a minimum number of participants, we are contacting the parents and offering to enroll.

If you wish to get the updates about the progress of collecting a batch for your child, kindly contact us:

Phone: +97143839210

2. How can I register for the course? How is the payment taken?

In order to register you need to complete the payment (on getting a prior confirmation from us about starting a group). The payment is to be done directly to us. You can either complete it online by card or through bank transfer.

The payment is taken by terms in advance. Kindly note that all the fees are non-refundable.

3. Can a student join in the middle of the course?

Yes. For students who join in the middle of the course we deduct the classes they missed by the 1st session attended.

4. Do you offer make-up classes for the classes missed due to the kid being sick/personal reasons/ unexpected school events /force majeure?

In such cases make-up classes are not offered and the classes are not to be refunded.

In case of class cancellation from our side, we will offer a make-up session/credit to the next term for you.

5. What shall a student bring to class?

All necessary materials shall be provided by us. The students are requested to bring 2 notebooks, and stationary. Sometimes a teacher asks to bring A4 folders to store print-outs, you will be advised on the same after several lessons.

6. What if my child (his class) is put on quarantine and cannot attend the offline class?

You can ask the office to connect the kid to the class online. Kindly do the same well in advance
(1 day) so that the teacher could bring a laptop and arrange a Zoom meeting.

Unfortunately, no make-up sessions/credit notes can be offered. In case the whole group was quarantined we can either cancel the lesson and offer a make-up session or run the class online.

7. Are there siblings’ discounts?

We are offering 10% discount for families with 3 kids attending our group classes.
