‘I am happy about my children’s progress at Apeejay’

Last year, Shiv Gupta, a seasoned pilot with an Indian airline, took a significant step towards his children’s education. With a heart full of hope and a vision for their future, he enrolled his son, Tanush Gupta, in class IV, following the footsteps of his elder sister, Yashita Gupta, who had been a part of Apeejay since her early years in Kindergarten.

A decade prior to this, life was different. The Gupta family resided in Faridabad. It was there that Yashita began her educational journey at Apeejay Svran Global School, Faridabad Sector-21-D. However, as life often dictates, the winds of change blew, leading the Guptas to the heart of the capital city. With this move came the seamless transition of Yashita to Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park. The change in location didn’t disrupt their educational continuum; rather, it marked a new chapter in their association with the Apeejay family.

Tell us about your experience with Apeejay Schools.

As far as academics and extracurriculars go, both the schools are excellent. That’s why I thought of enrolling my son too. In 2022, we relocated to Delhi and hence the change of school. It has been more than 10 years of association with Apeejay. Besides, my niece and nephew too studied from here.

Any recollection from your first visit?

Yes. The atmosphere in Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park exuded a sense of warmth and dedication. The staff, devoted to nurturing young minds, stood as pillars of support for a child’s growth. The academic rigor, balanced seamlessly with a vibrant sports culture, painted a promising picture of holistic development. The institution met my expectations. At present, my children are doing well in school and I am satisfied with their performances.

Your thoughts on your children’s career goals?

I am not sure what my daughter is inclined to do. However, my son is keen to become a pilot, like me. I am happy about it. Hence, I often talk about the profession in front of him.

Any future expectations from the school?

I am certain that the institute and its staff are doing their best for my children. In the future, they must keep at it and work towards upgrading and improving their knowledge and skills.
