The Application Process

Our four-step application process ensures a comprehensive evaluation of each applicant:

Step 1: Begin your journey by visiting our Admission Office or using our user-friendly online portal to submit your application. Our dedicated admissions team will meticulously review your application.
Step 2: Prospective students are required to submit all necessary forms and documents online. A non-refundable application fee must be paid to initiate the admission process.
Step 3: Once we receive the required forms, documents, and the application fee, your application will undergo a thorough review. Additionally, an entry-level assessment and personal interaction session with our curriculum experts will be arranged. For those residing outside India, these interactions will take place via video-conferencing.
Step 4: After a successful evaluation, you will be asked to confirm your acceptance by submitting the online student FNOA (Final Notice of Acceptance). Subsequently, you will receive an invoice for enrolment and tuition fees. To ease your child's transition, we may invite them for an orientation day or an enrolment meeting based on their start term.

International Students

For foreign nationals who travel through a student pass/visa, submission of the visa page is mandatory. This information will be registered with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival, adhering to immigration rules.

Wait List

In cases where a place is not immediately available, your child's application will be placed on a waitlist. We will notify you as soon as a place is expected to become available. Please remember to keep the Admissions Department informed of any changes to your contact details.

Sibling Priority

We believe in welcoming entire families into our school community. Admissions priority is granted to families with siblings already enrolled at Manchester or with applications submitted. Siblings also receive priority on the wait list in their grade levels, and we offer a discount on the enrolment of the sibling in accordance with the school's policy.

Medical Declaration

To ensure the welfare of all students, it is imperative to inform the school of any known allergies and other medical conditions. For students aged 12 and below, submission of immunization records is mandatory, while those above 12 years must provide a medical certificate.

Prorated Tuition Fees

For new families, tuition fees are prorated by month if the student begins their course after the commencement of an academic semester. Please note that proration applies exclusively to tuition fees.
English as an Additional Language / Intensive Language Course
For students whose primary language is not English, Manchester offers additional educational support. The need for English as an Additional Language (EAL) or Intensive Language Course (ILC) support will be determined based on each student's individual requirements.
