Find the right beginningfor your child.
Join Dalhousie
Choosing a school is about more than completing an application. It is about finding an environment in which your child can learn seriously, grow confidently and become increasingly ready for the future.
Start with the right campus.
One Dalhousie. Two ways to grow. The two campuses offer distinct expressions of the same Dalhousie philosophy. Dalhousie Campus, the Mountain Campus, offers a deeper residential experience shaped by mountain discipline, academic seriousness, house culture, outdoor strength and growing independence.
New Chandigarh Campus, the Modern Campus, brings academics, preparation, confidence, sport, leadership and future pathways together within a contemporary environment. Before applying, families can understand both experiences and choose the one that feels closer to what their child needs.
A simple admission journey
Clear steps. Personal guidance. The admission process begins with registration. For children applying up to Grade II, there is no entrance test. From Grade III onwards, students complete an entrance or diagnostic assessment before admission is confirmed.
01 Register: complete the registration form with the student and parent details. 02 Understand the child: applicants up to Grade II are taken forward without an entrance test, while Grade III onwards complete an assessment. 03 Admission confirmation: the School communicates the decision and next formalities. 04 Complete formalities: submit the required documentation and fee payment to confirm the seat.
Understand the fees
Parents should be able to understand the financial commitment clearly before completing admission.
The published schedules set out tuition, boarding or day-boarding charges, deposits, the instalment plan and the concessions available.
Where this leads
Fit comes first. Six questions will tell you more than an hour of brochures.
See Dalhousie before you decide.
A school should be experienced, not only researched. A campus visit gives families the opportunity to understand the environment, see the spaces and speak with the admissions team before making a decision.
Parents can choose the campus and preferred visit date, after which the School team confirms the visit.
