Why did you choose Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg?
As an Apeejayite myself, I was certain that my children would also be a part of the Apeejay family, especially at Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar. The school’s well-rounded curriculum promotes holistic development, shaping children into confident, independent thinkers. Apeejay students don’t just learn — they lead, each developing a strong and unique identity.
Which best practices do teachers use here?
The teachers here are exceptional. Every child is equally important to them. Their teaching methods are based on understanding and learning, rather than rote memorisation. Children are encouraged to develop their ideas, fostering creativity and independent thinking. Their innovative approach ensures a deeper understanding of concepts, and they are always ready to help whenever needed.
Which extracurricular activities does your child enjoy?
My children truly enjoy school, not just for academics, but for the vibrant and engaging extracurricular activities that make each day enriching. They are especially passionate about chess and have had the privilege of training under one of Punjab’s finest coaches. Both have earned the title of state champions and have proudly represented Punjab at the national level multiple times. In appreciation of their accomplishments, the school has awarded them scholarships. Apart from chess, they actively participate in debates, declamations, quizzes, chart-making, Sports Day, and various cultural activities during morning assemblies. They also gain valuable insights from special sessions conducted by our Principal ma’am on topics relevant to students. They eagerly participate in every activity possible, making the most of all opportunities provided.
How is the school safety-wise?
The school ensures a safe and healthy environment for the kids. At dispersal time, measures are in place to prevent pushing and ensure that children cross the road safely. The safety protocols are well-maintained, allowing parents to feel confident about their children’s well-being while at school.
How are the infrastructure facilities of the school?
The school’s infrastructure is excellent, with modern facilities designed to enhance learning and comfort. The classrooms are spacious and well-equipped, while the playgrounds and recreational areas provide ample space for physical activities. The overall campus is thoughtfully designed to support both academic growth and the all-round development of students.
Are you happy with your child’s progress so far?
Yes, I am more than satisfied with my kids’ progress and overall development. They are becoming independent thinkers while also learning to respect elders and care for younger ones. They are excelling in both studies and sports, thanks to the unwavering support from Principal ma’am and their teachers. I am truly grateful.
