Age of Admission
Which class is right for my child?
At Chughtai International School, your child’s age on 31 August determines their class for the year. This keeps every child with true age-peers and means our Kindergarten graduates are perfectly placed for Grade 1 — here in Pakistan or anywhere in the world.

Joining Playgroup? Little ones can join any time during the year once they turn 2 years 6 months — no need to wait for September.
Born just outside these dates? Every child develops at their own pace. If your child’s birthday falls within three months of a cutoff, our gentle, play-based readiness assessment helps us find the class where they’ll truly thrive
