Question 1

Is SPOT a recognised school?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SPOT offers two fully recognised board pathways — IGCSE (Pearson Edexcel) and NIOS. Learners graduate with a legitimate board qualification.

Question 2

How many students are in a batch?

Accepted Answer

Around 20. That’s intentional. A small cohort means every child is known, tracked, and supported — not one of 35 in a classroom.

Question 3

What is the difference between IGCSE and NIOS at SPOT?

Accepted Answer

IGCSE (Pearson Edexcel) is internationally recognised, well-suited for learners considering further education abroad or at premium Indian institutions. NIOS is the National Institute of Open Schooling — a government board that allows flexible pacing and is often a better fit for learners who need more time or a non-standard academic pathway. We help families choose based on their child’s profile and goals, not a default.

Question 4

How is SPOT different from home schooling?

Accepted Answer

Home schooling is typically parent-led learning at home. SPOT is a full school — physical campus, qualified educators, structured studios, peer community, and board examinations. Your child comes to school every day and learns with other teens. The difference from mainstream school is the design: personalised, flexible, and built around each child.

Question 5

My child doesn't fit a regular school. Is SPOT right for them?

Accepted Answer

SPOT is for learners who don't want a regular school — homeschoolers, alternative learners, and neurodivergent learners alike. We build learning around each child, with small cohorts, personalised plans, and educators who know them. If school isn't working for your child, it's worth a conversation.

Question 6

What does a typical day look like?

Accepted Answer

There’s no single “typical day” — that’s partly the point. Learners move through studios based on their personalised learning plan and interests. There are structured sessions, project time, mentorship, and community time. See /a-day-at-spot for a walkthrough.

Question 7

What are the fees?

Accepted Answer

We discuss fees during the admissions conversation because we want to understand your child’s situation first. Reach out and we’ll walk you through the full structure.

Question 8

How do I apply?

Accepted Answer

Fill in the enquiry form. We call you within 24 hours. Then a visit, an informal session with your child, and a conversation. That’s it.
