Admissions

Admissions
1. Online Registration and Enrollment Initiation. Registration is accepted online only. To begin, go to the school's online registration portal by clicking the APPLY button on nms.edu.bh, which opens the registration form. After you complete the form, the system generates a Registration Form Number. Print the form and submit it to the school with all required documents within 3 working days, along with a non-refundable Registration Fee of BD 20; failure to do so cancels the online registration. Incomplete forms or missing information will be rejected, and the applicant must re-register if seats are available.

2. Admission Tests and Interaction with the Principal. Admission is merit-based and granted on the performance in an admission test followed by a personal interaction with the Principal; the test pattern varies by grade. For KG I, KG II, and Grades I–II, the process includes an admission test in core subjects followed by an interview. For Grades III–VIII, IX–X, and XI, the tests include English, Mathematics, EVS/Science, Hindi/Arabic, and other subject combinations as applicable, again followed by an interaction. The final decision may consider grade-level specifics such as pre-board or board results for higher grades.

3. Documents Required and Residency Considerations. At registration, you must provide a passport copy with a valid resident permit (minimum 6 months validity), birth certificate, CPR copy, four passport-size photos, and the original Transfer Certificate with attestation. Additional items include immunization forms, a Medical Fitness certificate, the prior school report card (with attestation if the admission is mid-term), and transport-related forms if applying for school transport. All applicants must be legal residents of Bahrain when filling the online form, and incomplete submissions will be rejected. Printing the full set of documents and submitting them within the stated window is essential to move forward in the process.

4. Language Options and Curriculum Requirements. English is the compulsory first language. Second language options vary by grade: KG I–KG II choose Hindi/Arabic (Arabic for Arab Nationals); Grades IX–X offer French or Hindi; Third Language options (French/Sanskrit) appear for Grades VI–VIII. Arab Nationals have specific Arabic, Citizenship, Islamic Studies, and Bahrain History requirements, while Muslim students have Islamic Studies requirements. These language and discipline structures are part of the admission considerations.

5. Ministry Approvals and Cross-Border Transfer Considerations. After completing admission formalities, admission is confirmed only after the necessary approval from the Ministry of Education in Bahrain. If transferring from a school outside Bahrain, additional CBSE transfer conditions or ministry approvals apply as applicable, and the school provides viewable guidance on these requirements. Applicants from Bahrain-based schools should also follow the ministry's transfer procedures where required.

6. Admission Decision, Shortlisting, and Fee Timelines. The final admission decision rests with the school management and is not guaranteed by submitting an online application or shortlisting alone. Admitted students must complete all admission formalities and pay all applicable fees by the specified deadlines for their term; late payments may lead to cancellation. A note to parents: shortlisting or application does not guarantee admission.

7. Transport, Transfer Certificates, and Ongoing Steps. If you plan to use school transport, submit the completed Transport form; bus fees are charged per term. For those seeking a Transfer Certificate (TC), follow the procedures outlined for TC processing, including timing considerations and dues clearance. The school provides detailed guidance on these post-admission administrative steps.

Scholarships
New Millennium School offers scholarships for Grades XI and XII. The Scholarship Scheme includes a 75% scholarship for the school topper, 50% for students scoring 95% and above, and 25% for those scoring 90% or more but below 95%. These scholarships are described under the Fee Structure for the 2025-2026 session.
