For many parents, choosing the right school is a difficult decision, but for Mrs. Neha Rajpal, it was a deeply personal one. Her son, Daksh Rajpal, a Class 5 student at Apeejay School, Model Town, has been part of the institution since nursery. What began as a firm belief has today turned into complete trust, as she witnesses her child’s remarkable growth in confidence, communication, and overall personality.

Read edited excerpts:

What influenced your decision to choose Apeejay School, Model Town?
I had made up my mind very early that my child would study here. I had seen other children from my extended family grow in this environment, and I truly liked the atmosphere of the school. It gives me a sense of security, I feel completely satisfied knowing my child is in the right place.

How has your child evolved over the years at the school?
The change has been beyond what I expected. When Daksh started, he was very quiet and hesitant to speak. The school’s activity-based approach has helped him open up. Today, he is confident, expressive, and able to manage things independently, which is a big achievement for me as a parent.

What role do teachers and the school environment play in this journey?
The teachers are extremely cooperative and supportive. The environment feels very warm, almost like a family. They focus on every child and make sure concepts are clear within the classroom itself. Because of this, I have never felt the need for additional tuition. The credit for my child’s progress goes largely to the teachers.

What changes have you noticed in your child’s communication and overall personality?
His communication skills have improved tremendously. I never imagined he would speak English so confidently. He shares his school experiences happily, which shows how comfortable and connected he feels in this environment.

How does the school support your child’s interests beyond academics?
Daksh is very interested in sports, and the school has always encouraged him. This balance between academics and extracurricular activities helps in overall development, and I truly value that.

How does the school involve parents in a child’s learning journey?
The school creates many opportunities for parents and even grandparents to participate in activities. It builds a strong connection between the school and families, which is very important in today’s fast-paced world.

How would you sum up your experience with Apeejay School, Model Town?
For me, this school is more than just an institution, it’s a place where my child is growing with confidence and happiness. Choosing Apeejay School, Model Town, was the best decision I made.
