Hi, I have a child of 3 years old. I will admit my child next year in Abacus International Montessori School, Tiruppur. So, my question is, if I admit my child in this play school then after completing her Montessori, she can join PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School or not?

Admitting your child in Abacus International Montessori School first and then transferring them to PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School after Montessori education is possible, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Equivalence of education: The Montessori education that your child receives at Abacus International Montessori School should be equivalent to the education in pre-primary or junior kindergarten at PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School. If there are significant differences, your child may face difficulties in adjusting to the next grade level. It is advisable to check the curriculum, teaching methodology and education standards of both schools for equivalence.
• Transfer or admission process: When moving your child to PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School, you will have to follow their transfer/admission process for that grade. This typically includes submitting documents like birth certificate, transfer certificate from the previous school, academic records etc. There may or may not be an admission test, depending on the school policy.
• Adjustment period: Starting at a new school can be challenging for children, even after previous education in the same city. Your child may require some time to adjust to the new environment, routines, peers and teachers. Be prepared to provide them extra support and encouragement during this transition period.
• Additional fees: Although not always applicable, some schools may charge transfer fees or admission fees for children coming from other schools. Check with PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School about additional fees, if any, for transferred students.

In summary, yes, a child who completes Montessori education from Abacus International Montessori School is typically eligible to join PS Chidambara Nadar Senior English School. But some preparation and additional support will enhance your child's chances of adjusting well to the new school.
