Admissions

Admissions
01 Enquire. Contact the admissions office or fill in the enquiry form. Provide details about the child and the grade of interest. The process focuses on getting to know the family rather than testing very young children. A campus visit is encouraged as the next step. 02 Visit the campus. See the school in session—the classrooms, the library, and the banyan. Meet teachers, ask questions, and observe the environment. The campus visit helps families understand the school's culture and routines. 03 An informal interaction. A relaxed conversation with you and your child. For early years there is no test; the aim is to get to know each other and discuss fit. 04 Offer of place. If it is a good fit on both sides, a place is offered and the current fee schedule is shared in full. 05 Join the community. Complete enrolment, and the child becomes a Modernite. Assistance is provided for the first-day settling in. Who can apply. Nursery is the main entry point, entering the IB Primary Years Programme. Grades 1 to 8 admit laterally as seats open during the year. Grades 9 and 11 enter ICSE and ISC, subject to eligibility. Age criteria are set by the academic year of entry. Fees. Fees vary by grade and are reviewed each academic year. The full, itemised fee schedule — including one-time and recurring components — is shared at the enquiry stage.
