‘The school campus left a positive impression on me’

The parent had heard a lot of good things about Apeejay School, Charkhi Dadri. The school has a good reputation, and the positive feedback they received encouraged us to enrol their son here. They wanted him to study in an environment that would support his learning and overall development; they found it here. Meet Poonam Rakesh Mittal, whose son, Krish, is studying in Class VI in this school.

In an impromptu interview, the mother shares the safety and overall environment at the school, among other things.

How has your experience been so far?

My son joined Apeejay School in April this year, so he is still getting familiar with the new environment. He is gradually settling into the school routine, getting to know his teachers and classmates, and experiencing different aspects of school life. I look forward to seeing how he progresses in the coming months.

How are the teachers?

Krish often talks about teachers who listen to students, understand their problems and help them with their studies. As a parent, I appreciate teachers who are approachable and willing to guide children whenever they need support. He particularly enjoys Mathematics. It is one of his favourite subjects, and he also speaks positively about his Mathematics teacher. I am happy that he has a subject he genuinely enjoys studying.

What about extracurricular activities?

He participates in extracurricular activities at school. He particularly enjoys games and sports, including bat-and-ball games and kho-kho. He also takes part in school functions and events. I am glad that he has opportunities to participate in activities beyond the classroom.

Do you receive feedback from the teachers about Krish’s progress?

I recently attended a Parent-Teacher Meeting at the school. The teachers shared their observations about Krish and discussed his progress. Such interactions are helpful for parents because they allow us to stay informed about our children’s learning and development.

How do you feel about the safety and overall environment at the school?

The school provides a safe environment for children, which is very reassuring as a parent. Safety is always one of our priorities, and I am satisfied with the school in this regard. Krish travels to and from school in a privately arranged van.

How approachable are the staff and teachers?

The principal and teachers are approachable. Whenever we visit the school, we can meet them and discuss matters concerning our children. I appreciate that parents have the opportunity to communicate directly with the school staff.

What were your expectations when you decided to change Krish’s school?

One of my main expectations was that Krish should have more opportunities to develop his communication skills, especially in English. I wanted him to become more confident in expressing himself and participating in different activities.

What are your hopes for Apeejay School?

I would like Krish to become more confident in speaking English and expressing his thoughts in front of others. Since he joined the school only in April, I understand that developing these skills takes time. I hope that regular classroom interactions, school activities and participation in different events will help him become more confident.
