FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can a child move from Little Saints into Grade 1 at Holy Saint?
Yes. Little Saints is designed as the first step into our primary years, and the transition is supported by both teams.
Can we switch between ICSE and State Board later?
Movement between pathways is considered case by case, based on the grade, the student’s readiness and seat availability.
How do we compare the pathways properly?
Send an enquiry and visit the campus — the admissions team will walk you through the syllabus, timetable and assessment for each pathway.
Which board should we choose if my child is interested in cricket?
Students interested in cricket can consider the State Board, as Holy Saint has a cricket team under the State Board.
