ADMISSIONS

IAH does not discriminate based on sex, race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of any of its policies or programs. IAH admits students of any sex, race, religion, or nationality with priority given to the children of Muslim families.  In case of space limitation, admission priority will be given to siblings of current students.

Requirements for Registration

• A child must be two years and six months old at the time of registration. The child must be toilet trained prior to the admission to the program.
• A non-refundable registration fee of $200.00 has to be paid at the time of registration to reserve a seat for the child.
• If a pre-school student misses the school for a month or more, and does not pay the required tuition fee, the student has to be re-registered. At the time of re-registration, the admission will depend on spot availability in pre-school.
