@Admin - pl. clarify if there is any restriction on applying in Springdales DK and Kirti Nagar and Pusa Road simultaneously. I couldn't find any such restriction though it's commented somewhere in some other post

It was there last year that you can apply either in DK or PS ,. Better crosscheck from school.

SPRINGDALES DUALAKUAN

Admission Information for Nursery Class 2016 – 2017

Policy, Categories, Criteria and Procedures

The admission policy will reflect the general ethos and philosophy of the Springdales Schools run by the Springdales Education Society (Estd. 1956). The schools are inter-generational, and promote inclusivity, integration and hetereogeneity in their student community. They impart a wholesome education which develops in Springdalians good citizenship, social responsibility and multi-faceted talent. The school motto “Vasudaiva Kutumbhakum – the world is a family” permeates the entire curriculum and elucidates its commitment to an integrated secular India and a peaceful and a socially just world.

The Management, staff, alumni and parents share a collective vision and mutual purpose in education so that the students may fruitfully contribute to the wider society and address the realities and concerns of our country and of the world.

Springdales has a clear DIVERSITY POLICY in place which is reflective of the Constitutional goals of our nation. We believe in the intrinsic right of every child to receive good quality education. So along with others we educate :-

a) Children of Economically Weaker Sections of Society -(Government to Admit)

b) Children with Special Needs

c) Children of Religious/ Linguistic Minority Communities

d) Children of different Regions of the country

e) Children of Foreign Nations

For this category there will be 64 seats available which will be 47% of the total seats for this class.

The Criteria for selection of these children will be in accordance with the guidelines given. i.e. there will be no interviewing or screening of children or their parents. The whole process will be fair and rational, non-discriminatory, transparent and child-friendly. Admission will be based on the information given and will have to be backed by authentic proofs with documents attached to the form when submitted. Information regarding parents’ professions and educational qualifications will not form a part of the admission criteria. It will be used only for school data processing.

Admission for the General Category of seats will be based on the following 6 criteria as per school’s policy for which points will be given to ensure a rational and fair result.

The list of selected and non-selected candidates will be placed on the public domain showing the points secured.

3. STAFF CATEGORY (CHILDREN OF STAFF)

All permanent members of the staff have a right to apply for the admission of their children.

Candidates must apply through an Online Registration Form but no points are required for this category. If the applications exceed the number of seats allotted there will be a draw of lots and the non-selected candidates will be deferred to the next session. Grandchildren of retired staff may be considered as fee paying students if seats are not filled.

Sakshi mam, I have a question can school give more points in criteria system to minority than distance. As many schools have given minority 50 points and distance just 30 points. Is that fare??

@ Neha Since those schools are minority schools they give more points to minority.
