As stated in the revised Admissions Policy of The Olive Public School approved by the Trust Members, the following applies to all applicants for the current academic year:

• The registration fee of Rs.750/- is non-refundable and does not guarantee admission.

Step 2: Written Assessment

Once seats are available, all applicants (except Play Group students) must undergo an admission assessment. This consists of a simple, age-appropriate oral and written question-and-answer session conducted by a member of the teaching staff.

This assessment helps the school understand each applicant’s abilities and identify any special educational needs. Admission assessments are compulsory for all students.

Admission will be offered based on:

• Successful assessment results

• Availability of seats

Step 3: Face-to-Face Interview

Applicants who successfully clear the written assessment will be invited for a face-to-face interview with the Admissions Panel. The panel may include:

• A representative of the Principal of the Primary or Secondary School

• A teacher or Key Stage representative

The interview will include the prospective student and at least one parent or guardian.

Parents are required to provide copies of previous school reports.

In the case of applicants from overseas or other states, it may not always be possible to schedule the interview before the family arrives in Chennai. In such situations, the Admissions Panel may grant conditional admission based on previous school records. Final confirmation will be subject to a successful interview, which should be conducted as soon as possible after arrival.

Please note:

• An assessment is generally required for transfer students.

• Recent school reports must be submitted to determine whether an admission assessment is necessary.

• Previous school records will be carefully reviewed before admitting transfer students.
