Find the right beginning for your child

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.

Across the Mountain Campus at Dalhousie and the Modern Campus at New Chandigarh, the larger promise remains the same:

The whole child for the whole future.

Our admissions team is here to help you understand the campuses, the programme, the admission process and the experience that may be right for your family.

One Dalhousie. Two ways to grow.

Start With the Right Campus

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.

Clear steps. Personal guidance.

A Simple Admission Journey

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/diagnostic assessment before admission is confirmed.

01

Register

Complete the registration form with the student and parent details.

02

Understand the Child

For applicants up to Grade II, the School takes the application forward without an entrance test.

For Grade III onwards, the child completes an entrance/diagnostic assessment.

03

Admission Confirmation

Once the applicable admission steps are completed, the School communicates the admission decision and next formalities.

04

Complete Formalities

Complete 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 Fee section provides the applicable tuition, boarding/day-boarding charges, deposits, payment schedule and concessions currently approved by the School.

For New Chandigarh, the 2026 fee structure is available separately for Boarding and Day Boarding, across Pre-Nursery to VIII and Classes IX to XII.

A school should be experienced, not only researched.

See Dalhousie Before You Decide

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 can confirm the visit. The existing website already supports visits to either campus.
