Admission Criteria

At Okasha High School, we seek students who demonstrate potential for academic success and personal growth within our unique educational environment. While academic ability is important, we also value character, attitude, and family support for our mission.

What We Look For:

  • Academic Potential: Willingness to work hard and engage with challenging material
  • Good Character: Respect for others, honesty, and integrity in all interactions
  • Islamic Values: Commitment to Islamic principles (for Islamic curriculum subjects)
  • Positive Attitude: Enthusiasm for learning and openness to new experiences
  • Family Support: Parental commitment to our school's mission and values
  • Community Contribution: Willingness to participate in school life and serve others

Grade-Level Requirements:

  • Secondary (S1-S4): Strong foundation in core subjects with good academic record
  • Senior Six (S5-S6): Excellent academic performance and clear educational goals

Our admissions process is holistic, considering the whole child rather than just academic metrics. We recognize that students grow and develop at different rates and value potential as much as current achievement.
