Q.8) Is there any special age restrictions for admission?
A) Not peculiar. Normal.
This age criterion is a guideline for us and for the admission committee.
Many parents will come and tell us how their child is very bright. And therefore be admitted to school despite being a few months underage.
Q.9) Does the location of my residence affect admission?
A) Yes, it does. We want children from the neighbourhood, who can commute to & fro with minimum stress. School for kindergarten ends at 11:30. It is not correct that the child should be travelling a long way at that time. The child should be reaching home quickly, having lunch and taking a nap.People living in far off areas should not apply. We may ask for proof of residence before confirming admission.
Q.10) Is the school not going to admit any children from other areas?
A) Mainly we give preference to children from the neighbourhood. The next preference are areas from where the children can commute easily. Even in senior classes, children staying far are unable to participate in games, activities and extra studies or classes. That is to their disadvantage as well as to the school. Therefore, we will restrict our admission to the areas mentioned above.
