When you submit the online form, at the top of the form, you should receive a message stating "you form has been received." Given the large volume of applications, it is difficult for us to acknowledge your submissions. We will send out an email after the last date of admission form submission, reminding you of the next stage. We request parents not to call the school office for confirmation of receipt of online admission form. We, also, request parents not to submit the online admission form multiple times.
The admission process begins in August every year.
Please look up the instructions on our Home page Admission tab. All the different stages of admission are displayed there. We usually announce the admission dates every year around July-August on our website.
Filling the online form doesn't guarantee admission. We recommend parents apply to more than one school.
A school tour will be conducted at the time of the admission process. Please request the admission officer when you visit the school to organise the tour.
Siblings refers to children from same biological parents and younger siblings of students currently studying at RCIS. Sibling entitlement is only at Nursery level. If you don't take admission in Nursery, then at higher grades it will be difficult to guarantee admission. At all other grades , it would be subject to availability of seats and whatever other criteria is applicable. There is no sibling category for students who have graduated already .
We regret that we are unable to offer admissions to students residing in Mira Road due to the large pool of applications we receive from our local vicinity. We advice Mira Road applicants to apply to leading schools in their vicinity.
