The process

How admission works: every step, stated before you start

No hidden stages, no surprise requirements. This page is the whole path.

Admission, step by step

This is the standing shape of the process; the school confirms current-cycle dates and any grade-specific details at enquiry.

  1. 1 · Enquire

    Thirty seconds online, or a WhatsApp message. You'll hear back from a named member of the admissions team.

  2. 2 · Visit or video walkthrough

    Campus visits for local families; scheduled video walkthroughs for families abroad. Bring every question you have.

  3. 3 · Application

    A straightforward form and standard documents (list below). Nothing is processed without your consent.

  4. 4 · Meet your child

    For kindergarten: a gentle interaction, never a test. For higher grades: an age-appropriate interaction and records review.

  5. 5 · Decision & joining

    A clear decision communicated directly, with joining steps, uniform/book guidance and start dates. How long a decision takes is confirmed with you when the application goes in.

Documents (standard set)

  • Birth certificate (for age verification).
  • Recent passport-size photographs of the child.
  • Aadhaar (child and parent) where applicable.
  • Transfer certificate and report card from the previous school (Grade 2 upward).
  • The admissions office issues the current checklist when you enquire, so you work from today's list rather than a general one.

Entry criteria

  • KG1 is the entry point to the Early Years programme; children join later grades on records and an age-appropriate interaction.
  • Entry criteria are confirmed grade by grade by the school office at enquiry. We would rather send you the current requirement directly than publish a table we cannot yet stand behind.
