Admissions

1. The school bases admission on many criteria, some pertaining to the candidate and others to the needs of the group, for example the boy-girl ratio. Siblings are given a degree of preference but no child is guaranteed admission. Age considerations are taken into account during assessment of applicants.

2. For Nursery admissions for the 2024-2025 academic year, the applicant's date of birth must fall between 1 May 2021 and 30 April 2022. Print and complete the Registration Form and submit it with a photocopy of the birth certificate, B-form or passport. Documents must be submitted in a sealed envelope on a working day between 4 and 11 September 2023 at Gate No. 2 Defence Campus.

3. The admission process consists of an in-person interview with both parents; applicants accompany their parents to meet with trained teachers. The decision will be based on the applicant's potential rather than an academic assessment, given that the students are very young. The interview assesses compatibility with the school's values, its approach and educational philosophy and the applicant's readiness to benefit from the program.

4. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis at various points in September and October; campus assignment is at the school's discretion and transfer requests between campuses are not entertained. The final list is posted on the school website as the process concludes.

5. Class III, VII and X admissions have posted results: All successful candidates selected for admission into Class III, VII and X have been notified. Pre-Kindergarten Admission Results for August 2026 are posted for Defence Campus and Clifton Campus.
