Admission :

It is advised to visit the School Campus before seeking admission or registering a child for admission, and familiarize yourself in regard to all the rules, facets, aspects and quality of the school.

The admission procedure starts with Registration of the child for admission. Please note that Registration does not guarantee admission.

Registration :

Registration is normally open throughout the year. Both NRI and resident Indian children are to be registered. Registration entails filling in the requisite “Admission Form”, remitting the registration fees and submitting the requisite documents as listed hereunder, to be deposited for registration through post/email or by hand in the School Office. (Registration Fee is mentioned in the “Fee Schedule” Section).

Please note that registration does NOT guarantee admission.

After registration the students applying for Classes I - VI are required to visit the Dharampur Campus, on a date scheduled by the School’s Admission Office, for an Orientation Programme and for Classes VII - IX and XI the “Boarding School Orientation” is held at the Subathu campus, on a stipulated date, as per the school calendar. (Generally, the Orientation is held during the first weekend of February).

Please note that NRI students (seeking admission in Classes I-VII) are granted direct admission and are excused from attending the Orientation in person.

Admission:

The list of successful candidates is declared within a week after the Orientation in the month of February and the admission needs to be accepted/ declined within a week from this declaration.

Admissions are granted with due preference to NRIs, brothers/sisters of present Grovians, brothers/sisters/children of Old Grovians, children of serving defence personnel, war widows, Govt Employees and brilliant scholarship/free-ship students from the poorer section of society. Details of the procedure is explained hereafter.

Age Criteria:

Generally, admission will be offered in Class I (1st Grade) for a child aged between 5 to 6-1/2 (five to six and a half years) as on 28th February of the year of admission. The subsequent classes can be so calculated. Generally, the accepted formula is, age of child minus 5 or 6 = Class to be admitted.

The standard rule being that the admission will be granted provisionally for the first year and further continuance will depend on the child's performance, academic and otherwise, during the first year of his/her stay in the school.

The boarding school orientation so conducted is not a test or criteria for promotion nor a process of selection/rejection but only meant to gauge the mental and physical make-up of a student to adjust to hostel life, which is vastly different to normal day-schools.

Hence all new admissions have to join the school after successful completion of their academic session in the previous school and obtaining proper School Leaving Certificates.
