At National Public School (NPS), we aim to make the admission process smooth and transparent for prospective students and their families. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our admission process:
1. Initial Inquiry
Contact Us: Parents and guardians can reach out to us via phone, email, or by visiting our campus. Our admissions team is available to answer any questions you may have about the school, curriculum options, and the admissions process.
Information Session: We encourage prospective families to attend an information session or open house event, where you can learn more about our school, meet our faculty, and explore our campus.
2. Application Submission
Application Form: To begin the admission process, parents must complete and submit the online application form available on our website. The application form will require basic information about the student and family, as well as details on the student’s academic history.
Supporting Documents: Along with the application form, you will need to submit the following documents:
Birth certificate (copy)
Previous academic records (report cards/transcripts)
Passport-sized photographs of the student
Transfer certificate (if applicable)
Any additional documents required based on the grade level or curriculum choice (Cambridge/CBSE)
3. Diagnostic Assessment
Diagnostic Assessment: To better understand each student’s current academic level and learning needs, we conduct a diagnostic assessment instead of an entrance test. This assessment helps us place students in the appropriate class and tailor our educational approach to best support their growth.
Interview: Students and parents may be invited for an interview with the Principal or a member of the admissions team. This interview provides an opportunity to discuss the student’s interests, goals, and any special requirements they may have.
4. Admission Decision
Review and Decision: After the diagnostic assessment and interview, the admissions committee will review the application and make a decision. Admission decisions are based on the student’s academic background, assessment results, and overall fit with the school’s values and expectations.
Offer of Admission: If the application is successful, an official offer of admission will be made. This offer will include details about the next steps, including fee payment and the enrollment process.
5. Enrollment
Acceptance of Offer: Parents must formally accept the offer of admission by submitting the signed acceptance form and paying the enrollment fee by the specified deadline.
Fee Payment: The payment of the initial fee confirms your child’s place at NPS. Details regarding the payment schedule and methods will be provided in the offer letter.
Orientation: Newly admitted students and their parents will be invited to an orientation session before the school year begins. This session will provide important information about the school, its policies, and what to expect in the first few weeks.
6. Joining NPS
Start of School Year: On the first day of school, students will be welcomed by their teachers and classmates. Our admissions and academic teams will ensure that your child’s transition into the school is smooth and that they quickly feel at home at NPS.
Important Notes:
Application Deadlines: Please be mindful of application deadlines for the upcoming school year. We recommend starting the process early to secure your child’s place.
Waiting List: In the event that a particular grade level is full, your child’s name may be placed on a waiting list. We will keep you informed about any changes in availability.
We are here to assist you at every step of the admission process. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions office. We look forward to welcoming your family to National Public School.
