School Visit

The best way to understand a school is to experience its atmosphere for yourself. Located amidst the green surroundings of Vadodara, just 8 kms from Alkapuri, Nalanda offers a peaceful and accessible learning environment.

We warmly welcome parents to visit the green Nalanda campus, walk through its open spaces, explore classrooms and experience the rhythm of everyday life within the school community. Sometimes, a campus speaks through the feeling it leaves behind. We recommend scheduling an appointment for your visit. Our team will be happy to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

One-on-one
Interaction

Every child carries a unique personality, pace, and way of learning.

Once the application is received, parents and the child are invited for an interaction with our educators. Designed as a warm and open conversation rather than a formal assessment, the interaction helps us better understand the child's interests, learning journey, strengths, and individual needs.

It is also an opportunity for families to become familiar with Nalanda's educational approach and philosophy.

Admissions
During the Year

Life transitions do not always arrive according to an academic calendar.

Understanding this, Nalanda keeps admissions open throughout the year, subject to seat availability in the respective grades, ensuring that families can seek continuity and stability for their children whenever the need arises.

Admission
Confirmation

Admission is confirmed upon completion of the required formalities, including submission of necessary documents and fee payment within the stipulated timeline.

With this, the child officially becomes a part of the Nalanda learning community and commences a journey filled with learning, friendships, discovery, growth, and memories that often stay for life.
