 How satisfied are you with the overall development of your child?

We are extremely satisfied with our child’s emotional and academic development at Apeejay School, made possible by the unwavering dedication and consistent efforts of the teachers.

Do you feel your child is in a nurturing and safe environment? 

Yes, my child is growing and developing under the guidance of experienced and nurturing hands. The scientifically designed approach to learning fosters creativity and innovation. I truly believe this enriching environment will empower my child to grow holistically and succeed in many aspects of life.

How effective do you find the teaching methods used in the classroom?

The teaching methods are top-notch and of the highest quality, enabling children to become tech-savvy. Learning is enhanced through smart classes and the use of the latest technology.

Being a doctor, how often do you engage with your child’s learning at home?

Being a doctor is a significant part of my life, but being a mother holds the highest importance. Regardless of one’s profession, I believe that motherhood is a woman’s foremost responsibility. I always set aside dedicated ‘family time’ each day, during which we play with our child and focus on nurturing a strong emotional bond with him.

How did you feel about organising and conducting the dental camp in the school?

As a doctor, I truly appreciate the school’s initiative in promoting oral healthcare. It is a commendable and educational effort by Apeejay School to invite me to organise dental camps for the students within the school premises.

What was the overall outcome or key takeaway you observed from conducting the camp?

The enthusiasm displayed by both teachers and students during the dental camps truly motivated me to further promote dental care awareness. The school’s management provided exceptional support, offering all the necessary infrastructure to ensure the successful organisation of the camps.

Do you find the school supportive in addressing individual student needs?

The school offers personalised academic support to students who may be facing challenges, ensuring that no child is left behind. This includes extra tutoring, individualised learning plans, and access to special education services for students with learning disabilities.

What do you appreciate the most about the school’s approach to education? 

The school incorporates graphic, audio, and video-based activities to help students better understand the curriculum. They provide specialised tutors for all children, and what truly stands out is that every child — no matter how unique — is valued. The school ensures individual attention across all areas, fostering each child’s growth and development.
