Admission Procedure & Guidelines

Admission Process

Seven steps from enquiry to first day, with the age criteria, the documents to bring and what happens if a class is full.

The process, step by step

  1. Enquire

    Call or visit the school office. You will be given the prospectus and the fee schedule, and a time to see the campus.

  2. Visit the school

    Come during school hours and see ordinary classes in progress. We do not stage lessons for visitors.

  3. Submit the form

    Complete the admission form and submit it with the documents listed below and the registration fee.

  4. Interaction

    An informal interaction with the child, and a conversation with the parents. There is no written entrance test for the primary years.

  5. Offer of a seat

    Where a seat is available, the school confirms admission in writing with a date by which the fee must be paid.

  6. Complete admission

    Pay the first instalment, submit the transfer certificate if the child is transferring, and collect the book and uniform list.

  7. Orientation

    New children and their parents attend an orientation before the year opens and meet the class teacher.

If the division is full

A division is kept to 25 children in the pre-primary years and 35 in the primary years, and we do not exceed it. Where a division is full, your child’s name goes on a dated waiting list and you are told the position honestly — not kept hoping.

What we do not do

No hidden charges beyond the published fee. No preference, ever, on grounds of caste, community, gender or a parent’s position.

Come and see the school on an ordinary day — call the office and we will keep someone free to walk you around.
