For admission into Kindergarten, the school follows a joint admission policy together with Little Flower High School Hyderabad and St Paul's High School, Hyderabad, St Mark's Boy's Town, HYD, All Saints High School, which is also run by the Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel.

Every year in January, one of the schools (in rotation every year) conducts the admissions procedure for Kindergarten. It involves an interview of both the student and the parents. The number of students who apply for admission far exceeds the number of positions available; hence, it is a very competitive process. Students are allowed to state their choice among the three schools but their choice is not guaranteed. A twenty-percent quota is generally reserved for economically disadvantaged students.

Admission to all other classes is done on a case-by-case basis by the school itself as per the availability on merit basis. Students who not only have a strong academic standing but also display talent in sports, literary or cultural activities are given priority in admission. All Saints High School is one of the oldest and prestigious institutions in Hyderabad, and one of the best schools in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
