How has your experience with Apeejay School, Noida, been so far?

My association with Apeejay School has been a long and fulfilling one. My daughter Aanya is currently in Class V, and when it was time to enroll my son Yugvir, there was never a second thought. I wanted a school with a strong academic foundation and teachers who could instil good values. Since children spend a significant part of their day in school, I believe it should feel like a second home. Apeejay School has met all these expectations beautifully, and the journey has been wonderful. 

How supportive have the teachers been whenever you needed assistance?

The teachers have been extremely supportive. Apeejay has a wonderful mix of experienced educators and enthusiastic young teachers who understand their roles well. I especially appreciate the experienced faculty in the foundational years, as they help build a strong base for young learners. As a working mother, I may not always be available during school hours, but whenever I have a query, the teachers respond promptly and are always willing to help.

How do you balance family time and screen time for your children?

We make a conscious effort to spend quality time together. Mornings are especially important for us, as we begin the day together as a family. After school, both children are engaged in sports and other activities, which keeps screen time limited. We also enjoy family games like puzzles and Ludo, and when we do watch television, we choose content that is educational and meaningful. On weekends, I make it a point to spend one-on-one time with my daughter as well.

What are your thoughts on the school’s balance between academics and co-curricular activities?

The school maintains an excellent balance. While academics are given due importance, every child is encouraged to participate in activities and events. Yogveer loves dancing and actively takes part in school programmes, while Anya is a member of the school orchestra and enjoys singing. These opportunities help children build confidence, creativity, and communication skills.

In a few words, how would you describe Apeejay School?

I would describe Apeejay School as nurturing, innovative, and progressive.
