Mode of Study Options: It is expected that by September 2021, we will have In-person classes and these could be supported by an online element. It is too early to commit to 100% online at present, as it will depend on the Health & Safety situation and KHDA permissions. We can say at present that if the Health & Safety situation warrants it, there could be 100% online, along with in-person classes.
