“Honestly, the school’s support is enough”

At Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, learning is not just limited to textbooks – it’s a journey of nurturing well-rounded individuals. For Shelly Aggarwal, a homemaker, and her husband Bharat Bhushan, a businessman engaged in agricultural pesticides and contract farming across India, choosing Apeejay for their son Bhavesh Aggarwal was a decision driven by trust in the school’s vision. Bhavesh, currently in Class 10, has been with Apeejay since nursery and is now thriving at the Mahavir Marg branch. In this candid conversation, Mrs. Aggarwal shares how the school plays a pivotal role in her son’s academic excellence and overall personality development.

How has Apeejay School supported Bhavesh’s academic and personal growth over the years?

Apeejay has truly shaped Bhavesh into a confident and responsible young boy. From the beginning, the school has focused on academics without creating pressure. Activities like science fairs, lab sessions, and one-on-one teacher-student interactions help ease stress and build clarity. The teachers are approachable and understand where each child needs support. Bhavesh has learned time management, and that has really helped him balance studies and extracurriculars smoothly.

What is the school’s approach to board exam preparation? Do students feel anxious about it?

Not at all. The school ensures that board exams don’t feel like a burden. The teachers go step by step, taking regular tests and keeping things simple. Bhavesh has never felt stressed, either at home or school. Honestly, the school’s support is enough.

In what ways has the school contributed to his personality and achievements?

Bhavesh was once an introvert, but now he’s a school brand ambassador and participates in Olympiads, speeches, and competitions. He’s a gold medallist in Spelbee International and was part of the team that secured second place in the district-level chess championship. He also scores above 95% academically and excels in swimming. Apeejay has truly polished his personality.

How do the teachers help students identify their strengths and weaknesses?

They are very observant and supportive. Strengths are celebrated in class to inspire others, while weaknesses are discussed privately through counselling and assignments. Teachers monitor progress regularly and offer guidance. Students feel safe opening up, which helps them grow with confidence.

What does the future look like for Bhavesh?

He dreams of becoming a cardiologist and plans to take up medical in Class 11. With the foundation that Apeejay has provided, we’re confident he’s on the right path.
