For registrations to Montessori - 1, the child must have attained the age of 3 years by 1st June of the year of admission.
For registrations to KG - 1, the child must have attained the age of 4 years by 1st June of the year of admission.
This will ensure that the children are of the right age as per statutory norms when they enter Grade 1, which is 6 years as on 1st June of the year of entering Grade 1.
What happens when the child is only a few days short of the age criterion?
Since the child is expected to have completed 6 years as on 1st June as per government norms to be admitted to Grade 1, we regret to inform you that the school cannot accept or process registration forms in these cases.
Following the age guideline will ensure that there are no complications in the future.
