‘There is no comparison to Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg’
Alumna and proud parent Vandana Kalia on her children’s holistic development
Some legacies are too precious not to pass on. For Vandana Kalia, sending her children to Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar was more than a decision—it was a continuation of her own journey. From Vanshika, her eldest who has moved to higher studies, to Ashita in Class 10, and her lively twins Shivay and Samar in Class 3, she takes pride in watching them flourish under the same banner that shaped her.
What made you choose Apeejay Mahavir Marg for your children as well?
Because for me, there is no comparison to Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg. It is the best. Despite suggestions from others to choose different schools, I stood firm. The personality, confidence, and smartness this school imparts to its students are unmatched.
How do you feel when you see your kids wearing the same uniform you once wore?
It feels wonderful! It’s a super feeling. Sometimes I even meet the same teachers, and it fills me with nostalgia. Watching my children enjoy their days at Apeejay makes me very proud.
Tell us about your eldest daughter, Vanshika. How did she grow in the school?
Vanshika passed with excellent grades in Class 10 and 12. She had wonderful support from her teachers, which helped her bloom. She loved designing and took humanities in Class 12. Now, she’s pursuing multimedia graphics at the university.
And what about your second child, Ashita?
Ashita is in Class 10 and is very smart and confident. She participates actively in school activities and plans to take commerce, aiming to become a chartered accountant.
How are your twins, Shivay and Samar, doing in Class 3?
They’re doing very well, scoring 97–98 percent. At this age, they love to play and participate in Olympiads and competitions. They’re happy children, and that’s what matters most.
As both a cool alumna and a loving parent, what advice do you give your children?
I always tell them to be sincere in whatever they do. Marks and positions matter less than sincerity, confidence, and smartness. If they put in honest effort, success will follow.
