Coverage of parent interview from Apeejay School, Nerul in Medium

Schools support their senior students through structured academic guidance and personal development measures. “We chose Apeejay School, Nerul, primarily because of our earlier association with the school. Our elder daughter studied here, and our experience as parents had been very positive. Over the years, we have seen the school maintain a strong balance between academics, sports, and extracurricular activities, which was an important factor for us. We believe that education today must go beyond textbooks, and Apeejay Education’s approach aligns well with this belief. The school provides a structured yet nurturing environment where students are encouraged to explore their potential while maintaining academic discipline,” shares Mughda Kathuria, whose daughter, Pranika, studies in Class XI here.

Read on to know how teachers here provide clear instruction, regular lessons, and tailored help to ensure students understand core concepts.

How are the teachers prepping her for Boards ahead?

In terms of preparation for Boards, the teachers have been proactive and focused. They are steadily gearing up the students by completing the syllabus in a planned manner and revising key concepts. What we particularly appreciate is the emphasis on conceptual clarity rather than rote learning. Teachers also encourage students to ask questions and seek help whenever needed, which builds confidence and reduces exam-related anxiety. Overall, there is a sense that the faculty is invested in ensuring students are well-prepared, both academically and mentally, for their boards.

How is the parent-teacher interaction here?

The interactions are effective and meaningful. During every PTM, teachers provide clear and constructive feedback about the child’s academic performance, strengths, and areas of improvement. One positive practice is that teachers actively suggest parents encourage their children to attend doubt-clearing sessions after school hours if required. This open communication creates a collaborative environment where parents and teachers work together for the child’s progress, rather than limiting interaction to formal meetings alone.

How is the pedagogy structured?

It reflects a student-centric approach. Teachers take the initiative to understand each student’s learning style and pace. There is personal attention given wherever required, and students are encouraged to participate actively in class discussions, projects, and activities. This approach helps build not only subject knowledge but also critical thinking, communication skills, and self-confidence.

Which stream has she picked and what are her plans?

Our daughter has chosen the Commerce stream, and she is inclined towards pursuing Mass Media or Designing in the future. The school has been supportive of her interests and encourages students to explore diverse career paths beyond conventional choices. Exposure through activities, guidance, and discussions helps students make informed decisions about their future.

What are the strengths of this school?

It lies in its strong reputation, established legacy, the values of Dr Stya Paul and the trust it has built over the years. The school has good infrastructure, including a spacious playground, which is essential for students’ physical development. Overall, this school remains a well-rounded institution that provides a solid foundation for students’ academic and personal growth.
