Academic records:

For admissions to higher classes (Class 1 and above), the student must have passed the qualifying examination from a recognized school or educational board.

Transfer students:

The submission of a Transfer Certificate (TC) from the previous institution is required for students transferring from another school.

Admission process:

1. Registration: Obtain and submit the official registration form, either online or in person at the school's admissions office.
2. School tour: Schedule a campus visit to experience the school's culture and facilities first-hand.
3. Assessment and interview: For some grade levels, particularly higher ones, an assessment test or an interaction session with the student and parents may be required to evaluate readiness.
4. Admission offer and fee payment: Once a student is selected, notify the parents and provide a timeline for paying the applicable fees to confirm the admission.

Verification of information and final decision

State that any wilful misrepresentation of facts will lead to disciplinary action, including the potential revocation of admission. The school reserves the right to make the final decision on admissions, which will be final in all matters pertaining to the process.

Importance of regular attendance

• Academic success: Regular attendance ensures that students can consistently participate in classroom activities, engage in discussions, and receive direct instruction from teachers. Frequent absences can lead to learning gaps, poor academic performance, and difficulty keeping up with the curriculum.
• Social development: School is a place for social interaction, and consistent attendance helps students build positive relationships with their peers and teachers.
• Discipline and responsibility: Punctuality and regular attendance are habits that instill a sense of discipline and responsibility, which are essential skills for future success.

Procedures for absence

1. Informing the school: For all absences: Parents must inform the school by calling the main office or the student's class teacher by a specific time (e.g., 8:30 a.m.) on the first day of absence.
2. For planned absences: If an absence is known in advance, a written application for leave must be submitted to the principal or class teacher for approval. This includes situations such as family functions or travel.

Required documentation

• For illness: For an absence due to illness, particularly if it lasts more than a few days, a medical certificate from a qualified doctor must be submitted upon the student's return to school.
• For prolonged absence: In cases of extended illness or other serious reasons, parents must submit a formal request to the school, supported by a medical certificate or other relevant official documentation.
• Upon return: For any absence, a note from the parent or guardian explaining the reason should be provided on the day the student returns.

Consequences of non-compliance

• Minimum attendance requirement: As per the rules of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), a minimum of 75% attendance is required for students in Classes 10 and 12 to be eligible for board exams.
• Striking names from the rolls: Unexplained or repeated absence for more than a specified number of consecutive days (e.g., six days) may result in the student's name being removed from the school rolls. Readmission would be at the principal's discretion and may require a new admission fee.
• Forfeiting examinations: A student who fails to meet the minimum attendance criteria may be barred from appearing for final examinations or assessments.

Other important rules

• Half-day leave: Half-day leave or leave during school hours should be avoided unless it is a genuine emergency and has been approved in writing by the principal.
• Mandatory attendance days: Students are expected to attend on the first and last day before and after any scheduled vacations. Absence on these days may require a formal explanation.
• Late arrival: Students who arrive late to school must report to the office to sign in. Habitual late arrival will be dealt with seriously.
