Apeejay School, Noida, offers quality education in a supportive environment, says the mother of a student here
The school supports its students by providing a structured and engaging learning environment that balances academics, co-curricular activities, and life skills. “We chose Apeejay School, Noida, because of our strong family connection and positive experiences with the school. Aarav’s father, Sachin Rustogi, is an alumnus of the 1997 batch, which created a deep conviction in the institution’s values and quality of education. Our elder son is studying in Class X, and his consistent holistic growth in the school’s supportive environment has been truly gratifying. These factors reinforced our confidence in this school as the ideal place for our children’s academic and personal development,” shares Mini Rustogi, whose son, Aarav, studies in Class III here.
Read on to know how the school encourages participation in sports, arts, and technology-based projects to enhance creativity and confidence.
How are the teachers supporting primary kids?
The teachers in the primary section are highly supportive, being easily available and fostering an affable atmosphere that encourages learning. Their democratic approach ensures that every student gets opportunities to perform and participate in various forums. There is a strong focus on the overall development of young learners, nurturing their academic, social, and personal growth.
Which best practices do they use?
The school follows several best practices to ensure a well-rounded learning experience for students. Teaching is based on a structured, pre-planned curriculum that aligns with the latest NEP and CBSE guidelines, with prior communication to parents to keep them informed. Regular home assignments, preparatory worksheets for assessments, and revision materials are shared according to well-planned timelines through dedicated school communication platforms such as Moodle and the Parent App. A suggestive meal plan is provided to help maintain a nutritious and interesting lunch menu for young learners.
Which extracurricular activities boost your child’s personality?
Extracurricular activities play a vital role in boosting a child’s personality. Active participation in intra-class, inter-class, inter-house, and inter-school events across sports, cultural programs, and information technology activities significantly contributes to personality development. Exposure to a wide range of skill-based learning opportunities, including field trips, camps, and various other activities, further helps children build confidence, social skills, and overall personal growth.
How do you manage your child’s studies at home?
We maintain a flexible yet disciplined routine that balances physical activity with academics. This includes football classes three times a week, home play, and academic reinforcement through assignments and learning modern skills such as coding in Scratch. Aarav is also fond of reading and spends a significant portion of his free time exploring age-appropriate books and newspapers, which further supports his learning and curiosity.
What are the strengths of the school?
Its vast campus, along with adequate and continually improving infrastructure, provides students with ample space and resources for learning. The academic staff is well-qualified and empathetic, ensuring that students receive both quality education and support. The school promptly implements NEP and CBSE guidelines, maintaining academic rigour while balancing traditional values with modern-age subjects.
