Frequently Asked Questions

We strictly adhere to age guidelines to ensure children are developmentally ready for each class. However, in exceptional cases with a margin of up to 3 months, the principal may consider the request based on an interaction with the child.
The cutoff date is April 1st of the academic year. If your child turns the required age after April 1st but before December 31st, they may be considered for admission to the lower class or wait until the next academic year.
For Grades 1-8, we consider both age and academic readiness. A transfer certificate from a recognized school along with report cards will be required for evaluation.

The academic year runs from April 1st to March 31st each year.

Admissions are typically open from February to March for the upcoming academic year.
