Can we register anytime?
- BalaBadi I have rolling admissions. You can register your child anytime. Mid-year registrants pay a prorated fee.
- Students registering for any level of Pravesam and above cannot register once the 3rd week of classes has finished. Our academically rigorous curriculum creates difficulties for students who have missed too many classes. These students have difficulty catching up and confidently preparing for the first-trimester exam. To prevent undue stress, we recommend that you register your child for the following academic year.
