The school supports its students by providing a balanced environment that nurtures both academic and personal growth. “As an alumnus of Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park, we have always valued the school’s nurturing environment and holistic approach. Naturally, we wanted our children to experience the same quality education, opportunities, and supportive community that shaped our own growth, ensuring they thrive academically, socially, and personally,” shares Bhoomika Kapoor, whose son, Kabir, studies in Class VII at Apeejay School Panchsheel Park.

Read on to know how a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and clubs, help students explore interests.

How are the teachers supporting him?

Teachers have been consistently supportive, guiding him in every aspect of life, whether academic or extracurricular. They provide encouragement, personalised attention, and constructive feedback, helping him balance studies with activities. Their mentorship not only strengthens his learning but also nurtures confidence, discipline, and overall growth, shaping his holistic development.

How is the school promoting holistic education?

The school promotes holistic education by regularly organising diverse activities that go beyond academics. These opportunities help my child explore his interests, discover his strengths, and develop essential life skills. Such experiences foster self-awareness, resilience, and adaptability, preparing him to confidently face future challenges and complexities in life.

How are you handling his studies at home?

At home, we support his preference for self-study by ensuring he revises the lessons taught in school on the same day. This practice helps reinforce concepts, build clarity, and strengthen retention. We provide guidance when needed, while encouraging independence, discipline, and consistency in his study habits for steady progress.

How is the parent-teacher interaction?

Parent-teacher interaction is highly beneficial, as collaborative discussions provide valuable insights into my child’s progress. By combining observations from both home and school, we can address academic and personal growth effectively. This partnership supports well-rounded development, ensures timely guidance, and helps in nurturing his skills, confidence, and overall potential.

What are the core strength areas of this school?

In my view, the school’s core strength lies in its emphasis on extracurricular activities. These programmes have significantly contributed to my child’s growth, making him more confident, expressive, and socially adept. By providing diverse opportunities beyond academics, the school nurtures talent, encourages participation, and builds essential life skills effectively.
