Admission Process & Selection Criteria

St. Edward’s ka admission process bachche ki rote-learning (ratta) par nahi, balki unki basic observation aur family ke educational background par depend karta hai.

Step 1: Registration & Documentation School se application form lekar (ya online download karke) specified timeline ke andar saare required documents (Birth Certificate, Aadhar, Address Proof) ke sath submit karna hota hai.

Step 2: Informal Interaction (For Nursery/LKG) Chhoti classes ke liye koi formal written exam nahi hota. Bachche aur parents ko Principal/Headmaster ke sath ek informal interaction (interview) ke liye bulaya jata hai. Yahan dekha jata hai ki kya bachcha basic instructions (jaise colors, shapes) samajhta hai ya nahi, aur family school ki discipline policy ko support karegi ya nahi.

Step 3: Written Assessment (For Middle Classes) Agar Class 2 se Class 9 ke beech koi vacancy aati hai, toh school ek basic written test conduct karta hai. Isme English, Mathematics, aur basic Science ka test hota hai taaki bachche ka current foundation level check kiya ja sake.
