As parents, if you are considering TSGE as your option, then here’s your guide to seeking International school admission

 

Admission Form

The application process of Cambridge Lower Secondary starts with obtaining the admission form and requisite documentation directly from the School Office. This centralised point ensures that you receive accurate and up-to-date materials. The form is designed to capture essential information about the student and their background, laying the foundation for a comprehensive evaluation. This initial step is crucial for establishing a formal record and initiating the admission procedure.

 

Form Submission

Once the application form is duly filled, it must be submitted to the School Office before the stipulated deadline. A recent passport-size photograph of the child should be affixed to the form, and the submission must include all necessary supporting documents.

 

Essential Documents

Applicants must provide one certified true copy of the child's school reports for the last three years, wherever applicable. Additionally, a certified true copy of the child's birth certificate is required, clearly mentioning the child’s name. If the birth certificate is in Hindi or any regional language, an English translation on Rs.100/- stamp paper, duly notarised, must be submitted along with the original birth certificate for verification. Parents must also submit copies of the Aadhaar card for both the child and themselves.

 

Registration Fees

The registration fee is an integral part of the application process. A non-refundable registration fee must be paid in cash or via demand draft in favour of "Thakur School of Global Education" or "Zagdu Singh Charitable Trust," as applicable, payable in Mumbai.

 

Transfer Certificate

Applicants must submit a Transfer Certificate issued from the child’s previous school. In case of outstation students, the Transfer Certificate must be countersigned by the respective Education Officer. For children belonging to Indian nationality but coming from abroad, the Transfer Certificate must be attested by the Indian Embassy or High Commission, with the child’s date of birth clearly stated.

 

In addition to the above, two stamp-size photographs of the child and both parents must be submitted with the other documents. After you receive the school uniform, two additional stamp-size photographs of the child in the school uniform against a red background must also be submitted to the school office.

 

Registration forms for new admissions of Cambridge Lower Secondary are available in September and October each year, subject to seat availability. All admissions will remain provisional until the required documents have been successfully submitted.
