Mahima GuptaApeejay School, Mahavir Marg, is not just a place of learning; it’s a nurturing ground where young minds blossom into confident individuals ready to take on the world. In a conversation with Aanya Mahajan’s mother, a class 6 student, we explored the myriad facets of Apeejay School’s educational philosophy and its profound impact on students and their families. Read edited excerpts:
What motivated you to choose Apeejay School for Aanya’s education?
We opted for Apeejay for Aanya primarily because of our family’s longstanding connection with the institution. Aanya’s father and I are alumni, having completed our schooling from Apeejay, Mahavir Marg. This familiarity with the school’s ethos, coupled with its reputation for emphasising both academics and extracurricular activities, made it a natural choice for us. When Aanya wasn’t thriving in her previous school, we made the timely decision to transfer her to Apeejay, where she immediately flourished.
Could you elaborate on your experience transitioning Aanya from another school to Apeejay?
Certainly. Initially, Aanya attended a different school for Lower KG, but she wasn’t content there. Despite being an outgoing child, she seemed to withdraw into herself, signalling that something wasn’t right. Recognising the importance of a positive learning environment, we decided to transfer her to Apeejay for Upper KG. The change was remarkable – she quickly regained her cheerful disposition, affirming that we had made the right choice.
What measures does Apeejay School take to ensure the safety and security of its students?
Apeejay School prioritises the safety and security of its students through various measures. The campus is equipped with CCTV surveillance systems to monitor activities and ensure a secure environment. Parents are kept informed and involved in safety initiatives, fostering a sense of trust and confidence in the school’s commitment to student well-being.
How did Apeejay School support Aanya’s academic and emotional development, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Apeejay School’s response during the pandemic was commendable. As both my husband and I work in the medical field, ensuring Aanya’s well-being and education during lockdowns was crucial. Fortunately, Apeejay’s robust online platform ensured uninterrupted learning for Aanya. The structured schedule, secure Zoom classes, and attentive teachers eased our concerns, allowing Aanya to continue her studies seamlessly while we fulfilled our professional duties.
Could you elaborate on Apeejay’s approach to extracurricular activities?
Apeejay offers a diverse range of extracurricular activities, from sports like basketball and table tennis to public speaking and arts. Aanya has thrived in this environment, participating in various activities like poetry competitions and recently, her first inter-house basketball match.
As a parent, how do you perceive Apeejay School’s role in shaping Aanya’s character and leadership qualities?
Apeejay School’s emphasis on character development and leadership grooming has been instrumental in Aanya’s growth. Through opportunities like serving as class monitor and delivering speeches at special assemblies, Aanya has honed her leadership skills and confidence. Additionally, witnessing the school’s principal exemplify effective leadership has inspired Aanya to take initiative and contribute positively within her school community.
How would you describe Apeejay School’s approach to parental involvement and partnership?
Apeejay School values the partnership between parents and the institution, recognising that collaboration is key to a child’s holistic development. As a parent, I’ve appreciated the school’s open communication channels, proactive safety measures, and inclusive events that foster a sense of community. This collaborative approach ensures that parents are actively engaged in their child’s educational journey, enhancing the overall learning experience.
What sets Apeejay apart from other schools?
Apeejay’s strength lies in its rich legacy, dedicated faculty, and comprehensive approach to education. The school’s focus on security, both physically and academically, reassures parents like us. Additionally, the introduction of new initiatives like robotics reflects Apeejay’s commitment to staying ahead in education.
How do you envision Aanya’s future at Apeejay?
With Apeejay’s support, we’re confident that Aanya will continue to excel academically, while also honing her leadership skills and pursuing her interests in robotics and other extracurricular activities. We believe that Apeejay will continue to provide a nurturing environment for her holistic development.
