Step 5

Kindergarten to Grade VIII, IX and XI students will take the entrance test and will have an interactive session with the concerned supervisors. The interactive session is to find out what the student knows and what path is most suitable for the student.

Upon completion of the entrance test, your child will be placed in the rank list. Depending on the entitlement in the rank list, the admission team will contact the parents within 48 hours in order to complete the process of admission by paying the first installment fees, wherein the documents are verified, and a unique student ID will be generated which will be quoted by the parent as well as the school for all kinds of communication.

Step 7

If the parent opts for school transport the consent of the school transport is to be obtained.

d) CAT4 Test (Cognitive Abilities Test)

All newly admitted students will participate in a CAT4 Test before classes begin in April.

For your information:

Newly admitted students recently taking the CAT4 Test at another institution can be exempt from our school's test. Please share the detailed results with the Admissions Department for review.

All new students who haven't taken the CAT4 Test recently will be scheduled for a test on school premises before the 2023-2024 academic year begins. The Admissions Department will provide more details and the test schedule.

Students of Determination:

For a successful transition for everyone, we value open communication regarding any individual support your child may benefit from. This could include communication, behaviour, vision, hearing, physical, or learning needs. If possible it will be beneficial for you to submit valid diagnostic reports (not more than a year old) to free up your child from the entrance exam. Selecting the right educational institute for your child can be a challenging job itself. Our fully professional admission team can assist you with further procedures regarding the admission process. We value open communication - feel free to reach out!
