Each year group from Nursery to Class X is divided into four divisions. The strength in every division is between 35-40 students. Students of Class XI and XII are offered three streams: Science, Commerce, and Humanities.


Parents wishing to secure a place at Gnyan Dham for their child in any other year group should submit an intent letter to the Principal in September/October. Depending on the vacancy, and if shortlisted, an appointment will be made to meet the Principal and view the school.


Withdrawals


1. When it is desired to withdraw a child, a month’s clear notice from the 1st week of the month must be given, or one month’s fees will be charged. If the notice given is less than one month, the fees due at the beginning will be issued against a 'No Dues Certificate'.
2. Pupils who leave the School in October or earlier will pay one term's fees. Those who withdraw after October will be required to pay full-term fees.
3. The Principal may, in the interest of the School, ask a parent to remove a pupil before the end of the current term if the pupil’s conduct, behaviour, or influence, in the Principal’s opinion, is in any way detrimental to the principles of the School, or if the pupil is unable or unwilling to benefit from the educational advantages of the school.
4. Pupils will be withdrawn for irregular attendance without sufficient reasons or nonpayment of School fees for two quarters in succession.
5. It is advised that if a pupil is not able to adjust to the academic standard of the school, and cannot clear the exams, she/he should change school in their own interest.

School Term


The school academic year commences in April every year and ends in March of the following year. The academic year is divided into two terms: April–September and October–March.

Transportation / Commuting to the school


The school does not provide any transport facility for its students. Parents usually make suitable arrangement for their ward.

Fee Structure


Gnyan Dham School is a Private School and does not receive any grant-in-aid. The entire expenditure of the school is covered by the fees. The school fees include Tuition Fees, charges for Games, Sports, Library, Science Laboratories, Computer Training, Teaching Aids, Cultural Activities, and General Stationery. Fees are paid for twelve months, i.e., April to March. Increase in the cost of living, Government Scales, Dearness Allowance, and qualitative extra facilities provided in the school are the guiding factors when setting the fees.


Admission fees are to be paid at the time of admission. A caution deposit will also be charged and is refundable without interest when the child leaves the school. Submission of the caution deposit receipt is mandatory to claim the refund.


For slow learners, remedial classes after school can be arranged on payment of a reasonable charge, as per the student’s requirement. Extra classes will be conducted for students who are not able to achieve the passing percentage.


Fees are paid on a quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter. A fine will be levied for any delay in the payment of fees.


There is always a high demand for admission in all classes at the beginning of the session. Therefore, it is imperative that fees for the first quarter are paid by 15th April. If the fees are not paid or no information is provided regarding the reason for nonpayment, the student's name will be struck off the rolls, and a new admission will be made in the vacancy thus created.


Students may be readmitted, if a vacancy exists, upon payment of re-admission fees.


The school office remains open on all working days during the summer vacation. All fees must be paid before 12 Noon.
