It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Step 1: Registration of your ward's name in the ISML office for upcoming admissions. Admissions are open to both Indian nationals and other nationalities, depending on the availability of seats, and all students study the CBSE curriculum prescribed for India. The registration step is the initial part of the process and helps ISML assess eligibility and seat availability before moving to the admission form. If you need to confirm eligibility or discuss intake for a specific class, start with a registration at the school office.
Step 2: Submit the completed admission form to the school office along with all required documents. The school requires documents such as a copy of the birth certificate, copies of passport pages, resident card copies, and, for admissions to Class II onwards, the original Transfer Certificate and copies of prior year mark lists. Non-Indian applicants must provide an embassy NOC and an undertaking on CBSE rules, with copies of passports and residence cards, and other listed documents. Direct admissions to Classes X and XII add further documentation requirements, including CBSE registration and related affidavits. The Principal and Management retain final decision authority on admissions.
Step 3: Final decision and age/fee considerations. The admission decision rests with the Principal and Management. Age criteria for Admission 2025-2026 are defined per class (e.g., Balvatika born Apr 1, 2021–Mar 31, 2022; KG I born Apr 1, 2020–Mar 31, 2021; KG II born Apr 1, 2019–Mar 31, 2020; I through XII follow progressively older birth ranges). Fees for new admissions are published in the 2025-2026 fee structure and cover Indian and Non-Indian categories with a schedule that includes an admission fee, refundable deposits, term fees, and monthly tuition; there are also late fees and potential discounts for early full-year payments (e.g., a discount noted for full annual payment by a specified date). Fee payment can be made at the school cash counter or online to the Bank Muscat account, with receipts sent to the Class Teacher; the fee counter operates from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM on Sundays through Thursdays.
