2015-16 Enrolment

 In the interest of maintaining a distraction-free environment on school days, we do not entertain one-on-one visits for exploring the school for admissions.  Prospective parents are requested to sign up for an Open Day and attend that.  Phone calls regarding admissions are also to be avoided.  Please EMAIL us to explore admission.

Please email bangaloresteinerschool@gmail.com   your child’s name, DOB,  current school/KG name and home location (area name is enough), and also, Names/DOB of older and younger siblings if any.

If you wish to actively pursue enrolment for 2015-16 academic year, you are requested to ensure that BOTH parents attend the FULL session of one of our Open Days.  You may attend together or on separate days.  Attendance of BOTH parents is a prerequisite for issuance of application forms as and when the admission process starts.     PRIOR Registration is compulsory for attendance as we can only accommodate 50 adults at a time.  Open Days will be held from 9.30 to 12.30 pm in 2014-15 on the following dates:

  • 2 August (Cancelled due to Talk by visiting Mentor)
  • 13 September
  • 11 October
  • 21 December
  • 17 January
  • 7 March

We prefer that children do NOT come along for the session so that parents can fully listen and focus on the session.

  • Prep Class (Child 5 years before 1 Feb, 2015)
  • Class 1 (Child 6 years before 1 Feb, 2015)

Enrolments for Academic Year 2014-15
Our academic year begins in June and finishes in March like most other schools in Karnataka.   The first intake for academic year 2014-15  will begin on 3 August 2013 and  the first set of acceptances will be finalized in December 2013.  Only limited spots will be open thereafter for the Second Intake in 2014.   For this enrolment cycle, most spots will be open for Prep and a few for Class 1. Only some spots are available in Classes 3 and 4.

Enrolment Age
A child must be at least 6 years of age on February 1, 2014 to start Class 1 in June 2014.  Admissions to our Prep class will be for children 5 years upwards.
What is a Steiner-Waldorf Prep Class?
A Prep class is the culminating 1 or 2 years (based on when the child turns 6 years of age) of the Early Childhood Years in preparation for Class 1.  Since the child around the age of 5 has capacity for a longer attention span and is able to work in a group better,  the Prep program provides a stronger experience of ‘doing’ activities like painting, knitting, sewing, circle time, 2nd & 3rd language exposure through songs, cooking, gardening and plenty of time for free play in an extended day 9am to 3pm.  The afternoon is reserved for a post lunch nap, story & outdoor play at school.  There is NO writing and reading but learning happens in a myriad of ways in preparation for Class 1.

Enrolment Process
Prospective parents must attend an Open Day to understand Steiner education and get to know our school. Attendance of BOTH parents is compulsory even if you attend on different days.  Open Day for a 2-hour Information session and school tour will be held on:
