We may relocate around November, which is the worst possible timing for school admissions. Child is currently in Class 9. If you have moved mid-year, did schools keep seats for transfers, ask for entrance tests, or make you wait until the next academic year?
I would keep at least two backup options until the admission is formally confirmed. Timelines can overlap and waiting for one school made us unnecessarily anxious. We found this out only after doing a second school visit. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.
I would keep at least two backup options until the admission is formally confirmed. Timelines can overlap and waiting for one school made us unnecessarily anxious. I would still verify it with the school for the current academic year. In our house, the practical routine mattered more than the ideal plan.
Could you share what you would do differently if you were starting again? I wish we had asked this before paying the registration amount. We are in Bengaluru, so local logistics may be a little different.
This is useful, thank you. The practical detail is exactly what I was looking for. For us, the admission office answer and the parent answer were not always the same. We are in Warangal, so local logistics may be a little different.
