Rules regarding Boarding and School
The School is a residential school as far as the middle, high school and higher secondary school is concerned. It is important that the child is prepared mentally to join a boarding school. The parents or the guardians are required to go through the Prospectus carefully to understand the things they should send with their wards when admitted to the school and boarding. Both parents and children need to be well versed with the rules and need to be absolutely happy with the school rules and regulations, its system of functioning and other details so that every child is happy once she joins the school. The school expects full support and cooperation of the parents/guardians and the students in this regard. A child is admitted only after the parents or a responsible person from the family visits the school and acquaints with its system.
