Was the admission process easy?

It was extremely easy to handle. It is very important to make a child feel comfortable. This Apeejay branch was able to do the same. My daughter felt at home from day one.

Are PTMs held regularly?

Yes and I make it a point to attend every PTM. I believe it’s essential to consistently gather feedback from teachers.

Moreover, such meetings provide an opportunity to express gratitude to the teachers for their dedicated efforts in contributing to the growth of our children.

What do you appreciate the most about this school?

Its approach. For this school, the student is more important than just going ahead with imparting education. For instance, initially, Swaranjali was unable to complete her work on time.

They give special attention to each student and help them remain on the same page as other students in the class.

Positive changes in your daughter?
