We are nearing the end of summer holidays and most schools will reopen in the first week of September. At the beginning of every academic year, parents scramble to find a school for their child(ren) due to the lack of seats at schools.

We will try our best to compile a list of schools that are still accepting admission applications. Ideally, it would be easier to get a seat in one of the new schools that started operations this year. Unless you're in luck or have wasta, getting an admission in one of the well established schools nowadays is extremely hard.

For a list of the new schools opening this year, check this page.
