Hi All,

We just moved to Dubai . My son's DOB is 25th December 2011. He is currently 4 year old.
I was looking for admission in FS2 in September but then I thought if I get him enrolled in FS 1 third term also so he isnt sitting idle for all these 6 months. What do you guys suggest?

Also a lady at GEMS WINCHESTER school said, that he is eligible for year 1 admission. and i was like WHAAAATTT?

Also it is February already, and most of the schools are full for admission .I am so frustrated and confused.

Best
YZ

This seems to be a good side-by-side guideline of ages across multiple curricula. I think all the GEMS schools have this on their websites, this is just the one I have used in the past. http://www.gemsworldacademy-dubai.com/contents.php?pageid=635&parentid=224
