What classes does Rishi Valley School offer admission to?

Rishi Valley School offers education from Class IV to Class XII, with admissions available only at specific entry points.
The main entry points are Classes IV, VI, and VII, where the largest number of places are available. Limited admissions are considered for Classes V, VIII, and IX when vacancies arise from student withdrawals. No admissions are made to Class X or Class XII, which are board examination years.
Age criteria, as of 1 June in the year of joining, are as follows: Class IV requires students to be 8 years and above; Class VI, 10 years and above; Class VII, 11 years and above. The school does not operate below Class IV.
For the ISC Plus-Two programme in Classes XI and XII, students are screened separately after their Class X board examinations. The school accommodates approximately 25 of its own ICSE students in the Plus-Two programme, with a very limited number of seats available to external candidates from KFI sister institutions and outside applicants.
Applications must reach the school by 1 December each year. Families should begin the process well in advance as seats at every entry point are limited, and the school selects on the basis of character and genuine compatibility, not simply academic performance.
