For Mrs. Preeti Pruthi, Apeejay School is a legacy. An alumna herself, she entrusted all four of her children to the same institution. Today, as she sees them excel in studies and life, she feels grateful that her children are shaped by the same values and guidance that once defined her own journey.

 How have your younger twins, Aaryan and Aradhya, adapted since joining Apeejay Mahavir Marg?

It’s been just six months since they joined Apeejay, and they already love it. They say, “Mama, you shifted us to the best place.” Teachers are supportive, approachable, and caring. They’ve improved a lot in studies, and both are now performing at the same level—my daughter is excellent, and my son has caught up beautifully.

What subjects do they enjoy the most?
Aaryan loves Maths and English, while Aradhya is very fond of Science. Both are discovering their interests under the guidance of their teachers.

Tell us about your elder children’s journey at Apeejay.
Both my elder daughters studied Commerce—Accounts, Business Studies, Economics, English, Painting, and Maths. Their teachers groomed them so well that they called me after their classes at Punjab University and said, “Mama, what we learned at Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg is helping us so much.” One is pursuing B.Com Honours, and the other is in BBA.

As both an alumna and a mother, what advice do you give to your children?
My advice is simple: go to school daily, respect your teachers, and follow their guidance. Sadly, many senior students miss school often these days, but regularity and respect are the foundation of success.

How does it feel to see your children grow in the same school you did?
It’s an emotional and fulfilling feeling. I feel lucky and blessed that all four of my children are studying or have studied at Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, just like I did. The same walls, same values, same guidance—it’s a beautiful continuation of my own journey.
