No, any fee paid is non-refundable. We offer seats to candidates on the assumption that they are going to continue studying at Headstart, and if for any reason their seats are not taken, there will be no refund of the fee paid to the school.

 Why is the fee structure not available online?

Headstart believes that an applicant must know first hand how it functions and for this reason, applicants are requested to visit the school, see how classes are conducted, interact with its teachers and then if Headstart is right for him/her, the fee structure may be sought.

 To which board is the school affiliated?

Headstart currently is seeking the ICSE affiliation. The 2008-09's 10th graders are being coached for IGCSE, the Cambridge University Exam which is also a meritorious exam that tests student's aptitude, analytical skills and comprehension extensively. Information on IGCSE is available on Cambridge Universty's website. A common concern for students taking the IGCSE examination in India is if the IGCSE and A level certifications are recognised by Indian Universities. The Association of Indian Universities' requirements for candidates taking the IGCSE and A level are: a minimum of 5 passes at the IGCSE level and 2 passes at the A levels. For admission to professional courses – medical/engineering, A level passes in Physics, Chemistry, Biology/ Mathematics and English are essential besides the 5 passes at IGCSE level. Please feel free to visit http://www.aiuweb.org/Evaluation/evaluation.asp where at the bottom half of the page, this same information is available readily.
