No. TSUS Sarabha Nagar (The Shri Ram Universal School) is in Block D, behind Main Market, Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana 141001. Shri Ram Global School is a different school in South City, and we are not connected with it. Our CBSE affiliation number is 1631479 and our phone number is +91 98140 78825. If an online listing puts us in South City, or shows another school's name in our address, that listing is wrong. Please call us to check anything you've read online.

TSUS Sarabha Nagar follows the curriculum, teaching methods and best practices of The Shri Ram School, Delhi, through Shri Educare Limited (SEL), which the Arun Bharat Ram family set up in 2008. SEL and Vidyalok Educational Trust signed an agreement to set up TSUS in Ludhiana. Other Shri Ram Universal Schools run in Rohtak, Palava (Navi Mumbai), Noida and Hisar. We are a separate school with our own admissions, so studying here does not guarantee a transfer to The Shri Ram Schools in Delhi or Gurgaon.

Yes, TSUS Sarabha Nagar is a co-educational, English-medium CBSE school (affiliation no. 1631479, school code 23692). We currently run from Nursery to Grade X, and Pre-Nursery admissions are open for 2027-28. For 2027-28 we admit children from Pre-Nursery to Grade IX. There is no direct admission into Grade X. Grade XI starts in 2028-29 and Grade XII the year after, so children can complete their Plus 2 with us.

Rankings and online reviews only tell you so much, so the honest answer is: come and see. Walk through our Pre-Primary wing, meet a teacher and a didi, ask about settling in and class size, and notice whether the adults pay attention to the quieter children. TSUS Sarabha Nagar is a CBSE school with a 1:10 teacher ratio, following the teaching approach of The Shri Ram School, Delhi. In the end, your child's comfort on campus matters more than any list. Book a visit online or call +91 98140 78825.

Yes. Admissions for 2027-28 are open at TSUS Sarabha Nagar from Pre-Nursery to Grade IX, subject to seats. There is no fixed last date, but LKG is already full.

At TSUS Sarabha Nagar, you fill in the parent information form, meet our admissions team and tour the campus. You then buy the admission docket (Rs 1,000), meet an educator, submit the application with documents, and pay fees once admission is confirmed. Please bring your child's birth certificate and Aadhaar card, photo ID of both parents, proof of residence, 6 passport-size photographs of your child and 2 of each parent, and the immunisation record. For Grade I and above, add the transfer certificate and last report card. The full list is on our Admission Process page.

There is no admission test at TSUS Sarabha Nagar. Admission depends on seats in the class and your child's age. For Pre-Nursery to UKG, you and your child have an informal chat with one of our educators. For Grade II and above, children complete a short worksheet that checks the minimum level for the class. It isn't an entrance exam. It helps us spot gaps so we can support your child after joining. Siblings of current students move to the top of their category on the waiting list, and children from other boards are welcome, within CBSE rules.

Please contact admissions for the fee structure on +91 98140 78825. At TSUS Sarabha Nagar we'd rather show you the school and how children learn here first, and then go through the fees with you in person, including transport if you need it. Do ask for the full break-up, so there are no surprises later. Fees can be paid by NEFT or bank transfer, UPI, credit or debit card, cheque, or online through ShriConnect, our parent portal.

Yes. Our Early Years at TSUS Sarabha Nagar (Pre-Nursery, Nursery, LKG and UKG) are the play-led, playway-style first school many parents nearby are looking for. The play is planned: Circle Time, Wonder Time, phonics, early numbers, sensory work, Show & Tell, role-play, art and outdoor play, from 7:50 am to 12:40 pm in summer. The approach draws on Howard Gardner's idea of multiple intelligences. Each Nursery and KG section has 2 teachers and a didi, and there are no formal exams. Our Early Years page has more.

Across TSUS Sarabha Nagar we keep a 1:10 teacher ratio. Each Nursery and KG section has 15 to 20 children and 2 teachers, plus a didi. The didi isn't a teacher. She's a helper who stays with the class all day, taking children to the washroom, cleaning up and helping with anything a little one needs. Teachers watch how each child understands, applies and tries, not who finishes first. Circle Time and Show & Tell are for the whole class, so the quiet child gets a turn too.

New children at TSUS Sarabha Nagar start with 1 to 1.5 hours a day and move to the full day once they've settled, usually within 15 to 20 days. The same 2 teachers and didi greet them every morning, with stories, music and Circle Time. The class teacher keeps you posted through the first days. After the first month, our admissions team, academic coordinator and vice principal meet every new family to talk about how it's going, and the principal is happy to meet you too.

Very little in the early years, and that's deliberate. There are no formal exams from Pre-Nursery to UKG at TSUS Sarabha Nagar. Through Pre-Primary and the junior grades, teachers assess understanding, application and effort by watching children at work. Formal assessment begins in middle school, with a mix of cycle tests, projects, presentations and quizzes covering writing and speaking, following CBSE norms. Teachers keep a record of each child's progress and share it with you through the year.

Summer timings at TSUS Sarabha Nagar are 7:50 am to 12:40 pm for Pre-Primary (Pre-Nursery to UKG) and 7:50 am to 2:30 pm for Grades I to X. In winter, school starts at 8:50 am and dispersal is also an hour later than the summer timings. New Pre-Primary children begin with shorter days of 1 to 1.5 hours while they settle in. If you have a question about timings, call the school office on +91 98140 78825.

Yes. The air-conditioned buses at TSUS Sarabha Nagar cover all of Ludhiana. Teachers and caretakers travel on them and help children on and off, transport registers record attendance on both trips, and bus log books are updated daily. At your stop, your child is handed over only to the adult showing the photo ID card we issue to your family. Call admissions on +91 98140 78825 for the route and stop for your address, and ask for transport charges with the fee break-up.

At TSUS Sarabha Nagar, classes are supervised by teachers at all times, the campus is under CCTV and guarded round the clock, and we follow a child protection policy. Every staff member, including didis, bhaiyas and housekeeping, goes through a background check, and in-house and external safety training is ongoing and compulsory for all staff. Students and staff carry ID cards. Teachers travel on the buses, and on any trip or event outside campus, children are always accompanied by teachers.

TSUS Sarabha Nagar has an infirmary with a full-time nurse for first aid, such as small cuts and bruises. She won't give your child any medicine without first calling you for permission. In an emergency you're informed straight away, and your child goes with the nurse to the hospital the school has a tie-up with. Please keep your emergency contact number up to date with us. Trained housekeeping staff keep the campus clean under supervision, and the water supply is checked through the year.

TSUS Sarabha Nagar follows the CBSE curriculum, taught in what we call the Shri Way: the teaching approach of The Shri Ram School, Delhi, through Shri Educare. Lessons go beyond teacher talk to projects, presentations, activities, group work, experiments and peer teaching, so children who learn by seeing, doing or moving all get a way in. Daily habits include Circle Time, Wonder Time and DEAR (Drop Everything And Read), and later DEED: debate, extempore, elocution and drama. It's a holistic approach that looks after how children think, feel, move and get along.

On top of the CBSE curriculum, children at TSUS Sarabha Nagar learn by doing: AI, robotics, machine learning, IoT, drones, rocketry, digital literacy, UI/UX design thinking and cyber security, plus English communication, podcasting, vlogging, mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Labs start from Grade 1, with timetabled periods in our STEM Lab, Digital Literacy Lab, English Literacy Lab and Financial Literacy Lab, alongside computer, science, maths, music and art labs. In the early years it starts small. Nobody is flying drones in Nursery.

It's holistic. At TSUS Sarabha Nagar, a child's confidence, creativity and well-being get as much care as their marks. Circle Time, Show & Tell and role-play give young children regular chances to speak up, and later DEED (debate, extempore, elocution and drama) and Discovery Hour carry that on. There is a music lab and an art lab, and children learn mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Clubs start from Grade 1, and every child belongs to one of four houses. Academics are taken seriously through CBSE, but marks aren't the only measure of a child.

Yes, TSUS Sarabha Nagar has an all-weather swimming pool, used through the year for swimming and water-safety training under supervision. Children are taught swimming, skating, pickleball, badminton, football, cricket, judo, karate and basketball, and indoors, table tennis, chess and yoga. Trained physical educators run age-appropriate PE classes, and children can go deeper into a sport as their interest grows. Our youngest have their own play area with a sand pit, play gym and soft play.

English is the medium of instruction at TSUS Sarabha Nagar, and we work hard on spoken English through English communication classes and our English Literacy Lab. Children also learn Hindi and Punjabi, and German is offered from Grade 2. If language choices matter for your child, for example after moving from another state or country, ask us when you visit and we'll explain the options for your child's grade.

In its first Grade X CBSE board examination in 2025-26, TSUS Sarabha Nagar achieved a 100% pass result, with the highest score at 96.8%. Our students also take part in national and international Olympiads in Mathematics, Science, English and General Knowledge. We're proud of that first batch, and we work just as hard on steady teaching and support through the year as on the final result.

Yes. Children learn at different speeds, and teachers at TSUS Sarabha Nagar plan for that in class. Children who need extra help get structured remedial support and one-to-one guidance to close gaps. Children who are ahead get enrichment work, Olympiad mentoring and more demanding project tasks. For new students in Grade II and above, the joining worksheet helps us see early where support is needed. If you're worried about your child's progress, talk to the class teacher. You don't need to wait for a PTM.

At TSUS Sarabha Nagar, report cards come twice a year, at the end of each term, at Parent-Teacher Meetings. Day to day, you'll hear through ShriConnect (our parent portal, where homework is posted), the school diary, a WhatsApp group for your child's grade, newsletters and email. Teachers keep a record of each child's progress and share it with you through the year. If something worries you in between, ask to meet the teacher by appointment. You don't have to wait for the next PTM.

At TSUS Sarabha Nagar, Pre-Primary children wear their House T-shirt with navy blue shorts.

In winter, children add a blue sweater, a jacket and track pants. If you have a question about any item, the school office is happy to help.

On their birthday, children at TSUS Sarabha Nagar may come to school in a birthday dress and share one simple chocolate with each classmate. Cakes, return gifts and expensive treats aren't allowed, and they'll be sent back home without being handed out. We'd rather the day felt special for your child without turning into a competition between families. If you have a question about a class celebration, the class teacher is happy to help.
