‘My daughter is an enthusiastic learner’

Every child’s school journey is filled with milestones, challenges, and triumphs. For Aarya Shrivastava, moving up to Class 5 at Apeejay School, Noida, marks a significant phase of growth. From excelling in academics to embracing new activities, her transformation has been heartwarming for her family. In a candid conversation, her mother, Mrs. Amrita, talks about Aarya’s progress, her love for learning, and how she overcame post-pandemic social barriers.

How has Aarya’s experience at Apeejay Noida been so far?

I am extremely satisfied with the school. The teachers and mentors here are exceptional—they truly nurture the students. The academic structure, the activities, and the overall environment have all contributed to Aarya’s growth. I have seen how the primary teachers take a keen interest in their students, ensuring they receive the right guidance and support. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to be a part of this institution.

Academically, how has Aarya progressed?

She has been doing wonderfully! Her class teacher has been very supportive, and Aarya performed well in every subject. She actively participates in class discussions, assignments, and school activities. Among all subjects, she has a special love for English and Science. These subjects excite her, and she enjoys learning new concepts, especially through practical applications.

What about her growth beyond the classroom?

Aarya enjoys extracurricular activities just as much as academics! She loves singing and often participates in performances. Dance is another activity she enjoys, and she makes sure to be a part of any cultural event at school. She’s quite a versatile learner, eager to explore different creative avenues.

Does she have any inclination towards sports?

Yes! Aarya has developed a keen interest in archery. She is highly passionate about it and practices regularly. It’s wonderful to see her dedication and focus in this sport, and I’m sure it will help her develop discipline and concentration in all aspects of life.

How has she evolved socially and emotionally over the years?

The pandemic initially made her a very reserved child. She was just three when she joined nursery, and most of her early schooling happened online. That made her hesitant in social situations. However, since returning to offline classes, she has gradually opened up. She now interacts more freely with her classmates and teachers. I’ve noticed that she talks a lot about her friends, which is a big change! Her confidence has grown, and she’s becoming more independent in handling challenges.

Final thoughts on her growth and future?

Aarya has come a long way—from a quiet, cautious child to an active, enthusiastic learner. She’s excelling in her studies, engaging in extracurriculars, and finding her voice in social circles. With the support of her teachers and her own determination, I believe she will continue to shine in all her endeavours.
