Admissions for 2027–28
We admit around 150 children a year, most of them into Pre-KG and Grade 6. The process has five steps and takes six to ten weeks from the first call. Every step below has a date.
Minimum age as on 31 May 2027. We do not admit a child early; we do sometimes place a child a grade back after the interaction, with the family's agreement.
Children transferring from CBSE, State Board or another IB or Cambridge school are placed by age, then confirmed by the interaction. Report cards from the last two years help but are not required at enquiry.

Five steps and a first day. Dates are for the 2027–28 intake; rolling admissions for mid-year moves follow the same steps without the waiting.
The form below opens. You get a call from the admissions office within two working days and a visit slot within the week.
Saturdays at 9:00 and 11:00, families in groups of six. A Grade 8 guide walks you from the gate to the boathouse; the Head of Admissions answers questions over filter coffee after.
Pre-KG to Grade 2: a 40-minute play session with two teachers. Grade 3 upwards: a written task in English and maths, then a conversation. Nothing to prepare for.
A written offer by email with the fee schedule attached. Waitlisted families are told where they stand and are called the day a seat opens.
Admission fee and first-term fee confirm the seat. The caution deposit is refunded in full when your child leaves.
New families come in on 5 June for a half-day with the house heads. Uniforms and the bus route are sorted by then.
Annual fee for 2027–28, payable in three terms (June, October, February). No capitation, no building fund, no annual increase above 8%.
