Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
STEP 1 - Complete Online Inquiry Form. The school uses a paperless admission process that begins with prospective families submitting an online inquiry form to express interest in the school. All parents are welcome to submit an inquiry form. Admissions are offered year-round, but seats are subject to availability.
STEP 2 - Invitation for Application. Shortlisted parents receive an invitation to apply. Campus allocation is decided at this stage, and by applying parents agree to their application being considered for the campus specified in the invite. This process helps match families with the appropriate campus.
STEP 3 - Complete Online Application Form. Parents receive the application form via email after the application fee is paid. The school uses a paperless application process. The required documents include: school reports of the last three years (if applicable); birth certificate; passport-sized photos of the child and both parents; Aadhar Card (for applicants residing in India); first and last pages of the child's and both parents' passports; and any relevant medical concerns or documents related to special learning needs (if applicable).
STEP 4 - Schedule Assessments/Interactions. Upon successful submission of the application form, the admissions department will communicate the interaction schedule and next steps. The schedule may include assessments and interactions with the student and family. These interactions help determine fit with the school's programmes.
STEP 5 - Admission Offer. The admissions process identifies students and families who align with the school's philosophy. The admission decision is conveyed by email. Nursery admission criteria require the child to be 3 years old by December 31 of the academic year.
