Admissions
The process, the documents, the age criteria, and the fee heads. Everything you need before you walk into the office.
The process
Nothing about this is complicated. If anything is unclear, call the office and we will talk you through it.
Call, email, or fill in the enquiry form. We will tell you whether there is a seat available in the class you want.
Come and see the school on a working day. Meet the class teacher and the coordinator for that section.
Complete the admission form with the required documents. There is a short interaction for the child, and a written assessment from Class II upwards.
Once the offer is made, pay the admission fee and first term fee to confirm. The office issues a receipt and the booklist.
Age criteria
Age is calculated as on 31 March of the year the session begins, following CBSE norms.
| Class | Minimum age on 31 March | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Playgroup | 2.5 years | Informal interaction with the child and parents |
| Nursery | 3 years | Informal interaction with the child and parents |
| LKG | 4 years | Informal interaction |
| UKG | 5 years | Informal interaction |
| Class I | 6 years | Readiness check in language and number work |
| Class II to VIII | Age appropriate to the class | Written assessment in English, Hindi, and Mathematics |
| Class IX and XI | Age appropriate to the class | Written assessment plus previous school records and marksheet |
Mid session admissions are considered where a seat exists and the family is relocating. Speak to the office before applying.
Bring originals for verification and one photocopy of each. The office will return the originals the same day.
If a document is delayed, tell us. We can usually begin the process and hold the seat while you obtain it.

Questions
Registration for the next session usually opens in December and seats fill through January and February. Applying early matters most for Playgroup, Nursery and Class XI, where seats are limited.
For pre-primary there is no test, only an informal interaction so we can see how the child settles. From Class II there is a written assessment in English, Hindi, and Mathematics at the level of the class already completed. It is used to place the child correctly and to identify anyone who will need support, not to reject applicants on a cut off.
Yes, where a seat is available and the family is relocating to the area. The child sits the same assessment and the school arranges catch up support for the portion already covered.
English, with Hindi taught as a full subject throughout and Sanskrit offered in middle school. Teachers explain in Hindi where a child needs it, particularly in the junior classes, because comprehension comes first.
