Olympiad training runs in the 4:00–5:30pm activity slot, alongside sport, music and robotics, rather than replacing lesson time. It is an optional course, priced separately at ₹20,000 a year in the store fee schedule.
How the programme runs
Olympiad training sits in the same afternoon slot as sport, music, art and robotics, and is taken as an optional course rather than as part of the timetable.
Which Olympiads students enter
Four written papers, sat at school, set by two national bodies.
Intl. Mathematics Olympiad
Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF)
A written paper covering geometry, number theory and logical reasoning, sat at school.

How students are prepared
Four stages, from the classroom to the exam hall.
Concept clarity
Classroom teaching covers the syllabus fundamentals the papers build on.
HOTS worksheets
Higher Order Thinking Skills questions, set to stretch reasoning beyond the textbook.
Previous papers
Past papers worked through before the exam, so the question patterns are familiar.
Mock papers
Sat under exam conditions, to practise working to time.
Common questions
Does it cost extra?
Yes. Olympiad training is an optional course, charged separately from the tuition fee at ₹20,000 a year on the 2025-26 store fee schedule. That is a substantial charge — more than a third of the annual kindergarten fee — so it is worth asking the school precisely what it covers before you commit. Fee structure.
Does it clash with sport?
Both run in the 4:00–5:30pm activity slot.
Where to go next
Olympiads sit alongside the wider curriculum — see CBSE at PSSEMR. Students aiming at engineering and medicine follow the IIT and NEET foundation, and competition results are collected on our achievers page.
