Choosing Apeejay School, Nerul, was a conscious decision for this parent. The decision was based on the school’s longstanding reputation for academic excellence, strong values, and holistic education. The school’s legacy speaks for itself through the achievements of its students and educators.

“The teachers are the greatest strength of any institution, and Apeejay School is blessed with exceptionally committed faculty. The visionary leadership of the Principal, combined with a culture that nurtures learning, discipline, creativity, and character, reassures us that our child is growing in the right environment,” Sheeba Kurup, parent of Ishaan Nair, (now in Class VI) shared in a candid interview.

How has your child’s experience at Apeejay School, Nerul, been?

My child’s journey has been truly wonderful. Over the years, I have seen him transform into a positive, confident, and happy child who continues to flourish with each passing day. The nurturing environment at the school has played a significant role in his overall growth, both academically and personally.

What positive changes have you seen in your child?

One of the most remarkable changes has been the confidence he has developed. His communication skills have improved immensely, and he now eagerly participates in various academic, cultural, and co-curricular activities. Being entrusted with the responsibility of head boy of the primary section was a defining milestone in his school journey.

How has being the head boy impacted his growth?

The opportunity gave him immense confidence and valuable exposure to leadership, teaching him how to lead with responsibility, remain disciplined, collaborate effectively with his peers, and be a supportive team player. I truly appreciate how his teachers consistently encourage students to step out of their comfort zones, discover their strengths, and believe in their potential.

How do you find the school’s teaching approach?

The teaching approach is thoughtful, student-centric, and highly effective. The teachers ensure that every child’s fundamentals are strong before moving ahead. What stands out is the personal attention they give to each student. They understand every child’s unique strengths and areas for improvement and patiently guide them with genuine care, almost like their own children. This personalised approach makes a meaningful difference in every child’s learning journey.

Is the school supportive and approachable?

Absolutely. The school maintains excellent communication with parents through regular Parent-Teacher Meetings and is always approachable whenever guidance or support is needed. I appreciate that the school values parents’ feedback and suggestions, creating a collaborative partnership that ultimately benefits the child.

What do you like most about the school?

What I admire most is the school’s rich legacy of excellence, its strong value system, and its team of highly experienced and dedicated educators. The school strikes an excellent balance between academic excellence and co-curricular development, ensuring that children grow into confident, responsible, and well-rounded individuals. This holistic approach to education is truly commendable.
