Watching your child turn into a totally independent person from a person who couldn’t manage to pack their school bags is an overwhelming experience for any parent. This journey includes a very crucial contribution from the school too whose role in building and shaping a child cannot be ignored.
Meet Sameer Mittal, father of Nandita Mittal, studying at Apeejay School, Noida who asserts that the school has shaped his daughter in a completely holistic manner and she is now fully ready to take on the challenges of the world ahead.
Any tension/pressure building up for the upcoming Boards?
Frankly speaking, there is actually no tension or anxiety for the Boards next year. My daughter is pretty comfortable with her studies. The school teachers have extended enough support to her. She is sincerely involved in self-study and there is no need for us to put her into any tuitions. I have observed that the teachers are able to explain the concepts in a very good way so that my child understands and learns them in a better manner.
Are the teachers easily approachable?
Yes, they are indeed approachable. Every teacher is easily available over the phone in case we need to discuss or share anything after school hours. They also communicate via WhatsApp for quicker interaction.
How did you select Apeejay as an admission choice?
It’s a story that dates back almost 15 years. Nandita’s elder brother was also studying in the same school, and we have experienced that our son received the best scholastic environment at Apeejay. So putting my daughter in the same school was an obvious step for her bright future. It was also convenient for us to have both our children in the same school.
How is the balance between academics and cultural activities?
Apeejay focuses a lot on the overall development of the child. The school provides adequate exposure and ample opportunities for extracurricular activities right from the junior classes. From that point, I have seen my child actively participating in one or the other events organised at the school. All this has helped in inculcating leadership skills and organisational skills in my child.
How has your daughter’s school life been so far?
It is only the school’s impact that my child has improved a lot positively. From being an introvert and a shy girl she now is a self-motivated, strong-headed, and confident girl. She has become more outgoing and loves to take initiative in different programs/events at school. What better can you ask from a school other than this?
How much do you resonate with – school is the second home for a child?
Almost seven to eight hours of my daughter’s life goes to school. Basically, a second home means her learning curve is being extended. She interacts with other students and teachers at the school and picks up new constructive ideas and thoughts that shape her growth and development.
