Read edited excerpts:
What made you choose Apeejay School, Noida, for your son Zayaan?
It was a tough decision because as parents, we want the best for our children. Apeejay School offers a holistic approach to education, blending academics with cultural and developmental activities. This comprehensive environment convinced me it was the best choice for Zayaan.

How has Zayaan’s experience been at Apeejay School?
It has been wonderful. The school focuses on the holistic development of the child, preparing them for real-life challenges. Zayaan is not just learning academics but also developing important life skills. He feels safe and engaged, which is crucial for his growth.
Can you share an example of how Apeejay School supports student development?
Sure! The school organises various activities that involve parents, such as monthly competitions where parents can judge students from other classes. This helps us understand our child’s progress and see firsthand how they are performing compared to their peers.
What specific activities has Zayaan enjoyed at school?
He loves the LEGO Robotics classes suggested by his teacher. These classes have significantly enhanced his cognitive abilities and imagination. At home, he often surprises us with his innovative ideas and creations inspired by what he learns in school.
How has Apeejay School helped Zayaan overcome his shyness?
Zayaan was quite shy, especially being born during the pandemic. The school’s monthly competitions, where he has to perform poems, storytelling, and other activities, have helped him gain confidence. He now introduces himself very well and is more social.
How have the teachers at Apeejay School contributed to Zayaan’s progress?
The teachers have been incredibly supportive. They create a nurturing environment using play methods and rewarding systems that motivate children. The teacher’s feedback helped us recognise Zayaan’s interest in cars and numbers, leading us to enrol him in the Maths Olympiad.

What are some recent achievements of Zayaan at Apeejay School?
Zayaan participated in the Maths Olympiad and scored very well. He also received multiple certificates for his performance in nursery and KG. Recently, he is preparing for a quiz competition on “Save Earth, Save Environment,” which shows his growing interest in extracurricular activities.
How does Apeejay School keep parents involved in their child’s education?
The school keeps us constantly involved through various activities and competitions. This involvement helps us stay updated on our child’s progress and contribute to their development. It’s reassuring to see how actively the school engages with parents.
How do you feel about the overall achievements of Apeejay students?
Seeing the achievements of Apeejay students in national exams and competitions is a proud moment for us as parents. Apeejay School truly prepares children for a successful future.
