Applications open
From 1 June 2026. Enquiry forms may be submitted online or collected at the office from this date.
Admissions 2027–28
Applying here should not be stressful.
We have tried to make this the plainest page on the site. Applications for the 2027–28 academic year close on 31 July 2026, and campus tours run every Saturday at 10 am during term. Read the steps below, come and see an ordinary school day, and ask us anything you are unsure about.
The calendar
Four dates to keep in mind.
Nothing here needs to be rushed. If you miss the tour one Saturday, there is another the next. If a date is unclear, a phone call sorts it out.
Campus tours
Every Saturday at 10 am through the term. Walk in, or ring ahead so we can expect you. No appointment is required.
Applications close
On 31 July 2026. Kindergarten places tend to fill first, so an early enquiry helps — but a late one is always heard.
Offers issued
From mid-August 2026. Offers are made in writing, with a clear window in which to confirm the place.
These dates are indicative and may shift a little from year to year. Please confirm the current schedule with the admissions office on 044 2599 1795 before you plan around them.
How to apply
Five straightforward steps.
Start to finish, most families are through this in a few weeks. There is no queue to jostle in, and no advantage to be gained by hurrying.
Visit the campus
Come to a Saturday tour, or arrange a weekday visit by telephone. See the corridors, meet a teacher, watch a class if one is in session. We would rather you saw the ordinary day than a staged one.
About an hour
Submit the enquiry form
Fill in the enquiry form at the bottom of this page, or collect a printed form at the office. Either way, someone from the school will be in touch to walk you through what happens next.
Ten minutes
A short, friendly interaction
For Classes I and above, we hold a brief, low-pressure conversation to understand where a child is starting from. It is diagnostic, not competitive — there is nothing to cram for, and there is no interaction at all for Kindergarten.
Twenty to thirty minutes
Offer and document verification
Where a place is offered, we confirm it in writing and check the documents listed further down this page. Bring the originals; we take copies and hand the originals straight back.
Within two weeks
Confirm the place
Complete the admission formalities and the fee for the term, and your child is enrolled. You will be told exactly what the first day looks like, and who to ask if anything is unclear.
On a day that suits you
Come and see an ordinary day
Every Saturday at 10 am, through term. No appointment, no performance.
Eligibility
Age criteria for the early years.
The guide below covers the usual entry points. CBSE and state guidance on ages is revised periodically, so please treat these as a rule of thumb and let the office confirm the cut-off that applies in your child's year.
LKG
Lower Kindergarten
Your child should have completed 3 years of age by 31 July of the year they join.
UKG
Upper Kindergarten
Your child should have completed 4 years of age by 31 July of the year they join.
Class I
Standard One
Your child should have completed 5 years of age by 31 July of the year they join.
There is no entrance test for Kindergarten. Cut-off dates are set by CBSE and state norms and are reviewed from time to time — the admissions office will confirm the current requirement for your child's class before you apply.
Paperwork
Documents to have ready.
Bring the originals along with a set of photocopies. We verify the originals in front of you and return them the same day — nothing of your child's is kept.
- Birth certificate of the child
- Aadhaar card of the child and of a parent or guardian
- Transfer certificate from the previous school (for Class II and above)
- The most recent report card or progress report
- Four recent passport-size photographs of the child
- Community and medical certificates, where applicable
- Proof of residential address
If a document is delayed for a genuine reason, tell the office — we would rather help you sort it out than turn you away over a form.

Fees
Honest about the money.
We would rather not publish a figure here that turns out to be last year's. The fee is modest for a CBSE school, revised once a year, and always explained in full before you commit to anything.
What the fee covers
- Tuition across all subjects for the year
- Internal examinations and assessments
- Laboratory and library use
- Sports and physical education
What it does not cover
- School transport, charged separately by route
- Uniform and shoes
- Textbooks, notebooks and stationery
- Optional trips and excursions
Concessions exist for families in genuine financial difficulty. These are handled privately and with discretion by the Principal, Sr. Dr. Peter Selvarani — please ask, in confidence. No child's schooling is decided by a family's circumstances alone.
The current fee schedule is issued by the school office on request and published
afresh each year. For the exact figures for 2027–28, and for a breakdown by
class, please contact us:

Enquiry
Tell us a little, and we will call you back.
This is an enquiry, not a commitment. Fill in what you can — the fields marked with an asterisk are the only ones we truly need — and someone from the office will be in touch to arrange your visit.
Thank you — your enquiry is with us.
Someone from the office will call or email you shortly to arrange a visit. If you would rather not wait, ring us any weekday on 044 2599 1795. We look forward to meeting you.

Before you ask
Questions we hear most often.
If yours isn't here, call the office on 044 2599 1795 — a person answers.
No. We are a Catholic minority institution founded by the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco, and we admit children of all faiths and none. No child is ever required to take part in worship; students of other traditions follow a values and ethics course in place of religious instruction.
Where a family already has a child with us, we do our best to keep siblings together and give their enquiry due consideration. It is not an automatic guarantee of a place, but please tell us on the form — it genuinely helps us plan.
Sometimes. Mid-year admissions depend on whether a seat is free in the relevant class and on the transfer certificate from the previous school. Families relocating to the area are welcome to ask — ring the office and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
School transport currently serves Thiruvottiyur, Ennore, Manali, Tondiarpet and the neighbourhoods around them. Routes are reviewed each year, so please ask the office for the current map and stops before you apply.
Nothing formal — just yourselves and your questions. If you already know you would like to apply, you are welcome to bring your child's documents so we can talk you through them, but there is no obligation to. The tour is free and takes about an hour.

Questions? A person answers the phone.
No call centre, no forms to navigate first. Ring the office during working hours and you will speak to someone who can actually help — or drop in on any Saturday tour at 10 am.
