Extracurricular activities play a vital role in the holistic development of children in school. “This school offers several such opportunities which teach essential life skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and resilience.

Read on to learn how this school offers activities that enrich and foster a well-rounded development of students that goes beyond academics.

Is there any stress or tension building up for the Boards ahead?

Not really, the best strategy that we are following is the practice tests that he is working on regularly at home. This helps him to stay well-versed with the syllabus and it will ease his understanding of the concepts. And we also encourage him to revise from the start.

How are the teachers here?

They have always extended the right kind of support to both my children. All the staff members are always ready to help and provide timely and detailed feedback concerning my child’s progress so that we can identify his strong and weak areas.

Has your son figured out his career path ahead?

Abeer has decided to take Science in his class XI and XII (PCM) ahead and would further like to get into a non-medical stream preferably engineering.

How has his journey been at school so far?

Abeer has always been an extrovert child, very camera friendly and stage friendly and I am glad that Apeejay has given him a plethora of opportunities and a platform to explore his talents. I recall an incident during one of the fetes organized at school last December, he voluntarily went up on the stage and played the guitar which was heartily welcomed by all the staff and students present. This is appreciated by the school.

Why did you choose Apeejay for admission?

First, Apeejay is a well-known and credible school in Delhi. Second, this school follows a rigid protocol for admission and maintains quite a high standard when it comes to the admission procedure. Moreover, in terms of academics and extracurricular activities, this school hardly has any competition in the education sector.

How are the school infrastructure and facilities?

I am a parent that abides by traditional methodologies of education and I am glad Apeejay is running on a similar format. I prefer that classrooms should still have Boards and chalk and other similar old-school teaching methodologies. Though I would like to also mention that the school matches with the latest infrastructure for delivering quality education such as ATL labs and smartboards.

What kind of extracurricular activities is your son enjoying here?

He is avidly into basketball and participates in various inter-school tournaments at school.

Do you feel Apeejay is like a second home for your child?

It is. When my son was in junior elementary level, I was worried about how my son would be handled by the teachers here. But I was amazed by the in-depth knowledge of the teachers here who perfectly looked after my son and made him comfortable and happy.
