‘The school’s strongest advantage is its focus on holistic development’

This parent values Apeejay School, Nerul, for its interactive and engaging teaching approach. Here learning goes beyond textbooks and keeps students actively involved. She appreciates the strong support system, noting that teachers are approachable and responsive whenever guidance is needed. What stands out most to her is the school’s focus on holistic development, with equal attention given to academics, personality growth, and life skills. Meet Dr Akshaya K, whose daughter Adithi studies in Class IX here.

What kind of teaching approach do the teachers follow in the classroom?

I find that the teachers follow an interactive approach. They encourage participation, explain concepts patiently, and make learning engaging rather than limiting it to exams. This is something my daughter genuinely enjoys.

How approachable and responsive are the teachers?

In my experience, the teachers are very approachable and supportive. Whenever I have a concern, they respond promptly and guide both parents and students in a positive and reassuring way.

Have you seen noticeable growth in your child’s overall personality?

Yes, absolutely. I have seen a clear improvement in her confidence and communication skills. The opportunities provided by the school, along with consistent encouragement from teachers, have helped her grow into a well-rounded individual.

What kind of co-curricular activities does she enjoy? How does the school support her in that?

She is passionate about sports and has represented the school at both CBSE national and state levels. I have seen the school support her wholeheartedly by encouraging participation, adjusting academic schedules when needed, and helping her maintain a balance between studies and sports.

How does the school handle extracurricular activities?

From what I have observed, the school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and actively encourages students to explore their interests. They ensure equal opportunities and provide proper guidance and training so that each child can grow in their chosen area.

What is the school’s approach to discipline and student well-being?

The school maintains a thoughtful balance between discipline and care. Students are guided in a positive manner, with a strong focus on values, respect, and emotional well-being.

If you had to point out one strong advantage, what would it be?

For me, the strongest advantage is the school’s focus on holistic development. They give equal importance to academics, sports, co-curricular activities, and personality development. I truly appreciate the efforts of all the teachers and the Principal.
