Admission Process
01.
Attendance by both parents for Session 1 of Open Day- On ‘Parenting’ conducted by the school.
As the first step towards our admission process, you are required to attend a session on ‘Parenting’. It is mandatory for both parents to attend this session. Once we receive your request through the form link (at the bottom of this page), we will send you details of the Parenting session. The session is held from 9 am to 12 pm on the dates given below. Please note that children are not allowed for this session.
Understanding Steiner education philosophy at a reasonable level to determine if it resonates with you is the first step in our Enrolment exploration process for parents. For a successful parent-school partnership in the years to come, it is important that parents have the enthusiasm and commitment to transform their own aspirations, lifestyle and parenting to support the journey of the child at the school. This session on Parenting has been designed to answer the ‘Why’ of Steiner (Waldorf) education and the roles parents play in this journey with their child. We hope that this session will help you connect better with the philosophy of Steiner education through an understanding of the developmental stages of a child. Since this session is being conducted by a parent of our school, it will give you an opportunity to interact with them and get their ideas and thoughts about their journey as parents in the school.
02.
Attendance by both parents for Session 2 of the Open Day-On Curriculum Presentation conducted by teachers in the school.
This Session is held by teachers of the school and provides an overview of Steiner's education. It will inform you of our approach towards education and the child. You will also get a glimpse into how the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum is delivered in the classroom by teachers, a display of classroom work, a school tour, and an overview of the history, management, and life path of our school initiative.
Attendance of this full Session is essential for parents to make an informed choice for their child’s education at Bangalore Steiner School. Open Day Session 2 is held from 1:30 to 4:30 pm on the same day. In case of constraints, one can attend the Open Day Session 2 at a later date.
The dates for Open Day Session 1 (9 am to 12 pm) and Session 2 (1:30 pm to 4:30 pm) will be updated in September 2023
We charge Rs. 500 per person as a single fee for attending the entire Open Day (both sessions included). Lunch will be provided on request. The bank details for the transfer will be provided once you register.
03.
Observation of a child in the school or individually as the situation may require
This is organised considering mutual convenience of parents and the school to bring the child for an assessment. During this observation, a basic assessment is done on the child’s learning levels and needs to be addressed. The observation period is one day for a child seeking admission into Kindergarten or Grade 1 and for all other classes, the observation period is one week.
04.
Application form for admission
This form is given out during the Open Day once you have decided to go forward with the admission process. The fee for the application form is Rs. 1000.
05.
Parent interview
This is done to understand the commitment of parents towards the child's education and their willingness to be part of this journey. It is only after the parent interview that we would be able to assess and confirm admission for the child.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are enquiring about the admission for more than one child, please submit a separate enquiry form for each child. The sibling information in the form will NOT be used as a substitute for another enquiry. The Admission Enquiry form will be updated in September 2023
