Rolling admission, transcript transfer, documentation, English-language support, and what eleven-plus nationalities on one campus actually feels like for a new child.

Relocation timelines almost never align with the Indian academic calendar. A posting begins in October; a school year began in April. That mismatch is the practical problem this guide is written to solve.

Rolling admission, and why it matters

MDIS admits students on a rolling basis through the year, subject to seat availability in the grade. Globally mobile families rarely arrive in April, and a school that only enrols once a year is effectively closed to them. Contact the admissions office as early as you have a posting date — earlier contact means more seat options, not more pressure.

What to send us first

• The last two years of school reports and, for high school, full transcripts
• Passport copies for the student and both parents, plus the Indian visa where applicable
• Birth certificate and immunisation records
• Any psycho-educational report, individual learning plan or IEP, if one exists

Send the learning-support documentation early rather than late. It is not a barrier to admission — it is how we confirm honestly whether we can support the child well, which is a question every family deserves a straight answer to.

Transferring credit into the American system

A student arriving from a US, Canadian, IB or British school transfers into an American transcript with far less friction than into an Indian board. Our academic office maps completed coursework against our own course sequence and places the student in the correct grade and courses, rather than defaulting them backwards a year.

A campus of eleven-plus nationalities

Around a dozen nationalities are represented in our student community, and our faculty is drawn from nine or more. For a newly arrived child that changes the first week entirely — being new is normal here, not remarkable. English is the language of instruction throughout, with support for students still building fluency.

Practical points for a Greater Noida posting

• Location. Our campus is at Knowledge Park-I near Pari Chowk — roughly 30 km from Noida’s corporate belt and well connected to the Yamuna Expressway and Jewar corridor.
• Transport. School transport runs on established routes with an attendant on every bus.
• Employer support. We work directly with corporate HR and relocation partners on education benefits, priority assessment slots and mid-year onboarding.
