3. Admission Test

Our assessment process is combined with tests in written by child and interview of parents

Nursery – PREP

An informal individual assessment test is taken combined with an interview with both the parents. Generally, the reading level of a child, the vocabulary and concepts of colours and numbers are assessed. In addition, the confidence of the child, the level of spoken English and motor skills are taken into consideration.

Class-I Onward

Applications for Grade-1 onward are tested in three subjects – English, Urdu and Mathematics.
The passing percentage is 50%. Duration of each paper is approximately 30 minutes.
For the written test, the child should come properly equipped with a pencil, eraser, sharpener, and ruler.
The papers are not set from any specific textbooks or syllabus but are of a general nature designed to test the aptitude of the child in the basic subjects.
The test paper is not shown to anyone and only marks are communicated to the parents/guardians.
A candidate caught cheating during the admission test will be rejected.

The list displaying names of selected candidates will be put up on the notice board of the concerned branch on the date given by the school.
